[QUOTE="Dave, post: 986727, member: 498"] I have a pretty good relationship with my vet. Actually with two different vets. The main one I use comes from a clinic that has 6 vets. Two large animal, three small animal, and one guy who does both. The vet who I use out of this office is also the vet at the local salebarn. If I need to pick his mind I do it at the saleyard. There is always some down time for him there and I figure it is a good time to ask questions. He is a very good individual to work with. I recommend him to any one who asks about a vet. The down side of calling him is the cost. A $40 farm call plus $90 an hour and drugs. I have to ask myself if the vet cost will be more than the cow is worth. The second one I work with operates a large animal service out of his home. He mostly works with dairies. He lives less than 3 miles from me. He also teaches part time at a local college. He actually comes a picks my mind for his teaching job more than I pick his mind for veteranary stuff. Downside again is the cost. He doesn't bill. It is payment at the time of service. And he whines a lot. There is about 20 feet of mud that you have to walk through to get to the chute area. Everytime he is there he whines about walking through the mud. Other people say he whines and complains at their farms too [/QUOTE]
