cheap help

[jodywy]

going to get the cows and calves up into a big lot at the corrals this afternoon. Got a crew to help sort so we can preg check and vacc . Hope both vets show up one can check at the back of the alley one at the chute. The crew can then sort calves, and I even let my wife pick replacement hiefers. Well break for a hot lunch there at the barns. While we finish Everybody else will haul calves about 4 miles to a scale and when the cows are done the open and culls (minus a hamburger cow)will go over and finish filling one of the trucks.....
hope we done as I bought the crew Baxter Black tickets for the crew....at 7 in town.

Sounds like a busy, high stress day. Baxter Black would make a perfect ending. Good choice!

And good luck!

Question for our American friends? How many of you do your own preg checking. And if so, what is the local vets opinion of it?

I do my own, but never crossed my mind to ask my vet what he thought about it.

I do my own too, and the vets have never said anything. They all (4 in the clinic) know I do alot of my own vet work. I was a district FFA officer (and went to the prom) with our favorite vet, so have known him for a long time. I started our pre vet in college but the first two years grades weren't very good - too much math and chemistry I decided I didn't want to stay and get my masters then try for vet school. I was working for a vet when I met my hubby.
