[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 809230, member: 2308"] We have a vet. Use him when necessary, buy most of our vaccines, RFID tags, and drugs from him. He is just as cheap as any of the stores around, and if you figure out shipping, just as cheap as mail ordering most things. We do our own vaccinating, most of our calving troubles we can deal with, but have the odd situation that we feel more comfortable taking to him, obviously if we need a C-section we go to him. He BSE's the bulls, although I do our own preg checking. And it is nice to have someone to go to when you have a question about something. He doesn't charge for advice.... Heard the other day that he charges $25 to fix a stag. Took a cow with the start of cancer eye to him, charged $100 to cut the cancer out and freeze the area (liquid nitrogen) Had a C-section on a heifer last spring, $350. So all in all, I don't think he is too pricey.... One thing about it is a dead animal doesn't begin to cover any costs associated with itself.... [/QUOTE]
