No... it seems like we live them.

My wife had to deal with this yesterday. Calf in pain.

When I banded this guy, something was not right and I redid it. Still didn’t seem right.

Turns out one of his testes hand not dropped yet...






We have another calf that we’ve been treating for 3 weeks that looks like it’s going to make it. It spend 6 nights at the vet clinic and a few days in my heated shop but it looks like it’s going to be fine.

We have a cow who lost her calf and it took over a week for her to pass he afterbirth... antibiotics every second day for her to prevent infection...

And one more with a broken rib and sunburn... that one is easy, a couple shots of antibiotics to prevent an abcess and metacam for pain. It’s out on the pasture now.

We pulled one at 4:00 AM on Thursday morning, it’s doing well and is on the pasture already.

Big animal vets teach farmers how to diagnose and treat animals themselves. No sense calling the vet if you can do it yourself.
