[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 691780, member: 839"] I realize that your statement is not towards anyone personally and I have not taken it as such. For the record I have not needed the vet out for any health 'problems' (cows or hogs). The only health problems I've had in the last 10 years (that I can recall off the top of my head) has been primarily the occasional scours in a bottle calf, a case of mild mastitis in a long-gone Jersey, a broken rear leg in another long-gone Jersey (I shot her), a mild case of navel ill in another bottle calf and a calf pull that I did without the vet. Had one cow limping a few years ago, never did figure out why, she got well. Fortunately all these things I was able to handle without the man having to come out. Vaccines, de-wormers and other general supplies I purchase from the co-op or catalog (Valley Vet or KV) I figure by keeping the vet involved in my herd, limited as his involvement may be, its good for him and good for me. Anytime I've called with a question he's never charged me for it. If I call for a specific med that cannot be purchased OTC, he has no problem having it waiting for me to pick-up and I believe it is because of an 'established' relationship. Katherine [/QUOTE]
