I think there’s a place for people to be more specifically qualified for just farm work to save on the training somewhat. Farmers on steroids if you like. Be a good job for a few keen farmers sons and daughters to work from the family farm to earn some decent money and not have to go near small stuff. Amazing how much the hobbyists call in vets for lambing and calving.
Haven't heard that but I'm not surprised, been trying to get some blood tests done on sheep (funded through Farming Connect) nothing but hassle.
I agree, so many things that vets do on farms don't require a vet.
We have vet techs here which are basically what you describe
Technicians they are usually called...
Shropshire farm vets still have the Techs I think.
Still too expensive if through a vet no doubt
Dunno, I suspect they will somewhat more than the guy we use for dehorning and castration help. I can do it, but another pair of very skilled hands is great....
