Why don't vets want to doctor cattle any more?

[QUOTE="TXBobcat, post: 123464, member: 94"] The vet we use is pretty reasonable if you bring the animals in, but if he has to come out, it can get costly. For example, we were going to take a bull to a sale that was requiring him to be TB tested. I talked to the vet about coming out to do it and he said $150. I asked if I could bring him in, and he said he didn't have the facilities to handle him (Longhorn). We ended up not doing the TB test. Normally I just take our young heifers in to be bangs vaccinated - all other vaccinations, worming, etc. we handle ourselves at the ranch. All in all, I would rate him as a good vet, one reason being that I can call him for advice anytime I need to. [/QUOTE]
