Employing a vet

[dinderleat]

Correct! Hence why I’m back on the family farm earning a fortune - oh wait [emoji848]

I did say a job where you actually get paid. Can you not work partime as a vet?

Big dairy near here, 1000+ cows and as many followers. Used to employ a vet but not now. Farmer does all the scanning, 2 men all the locomotion assessment and trimming weekly. Very modern set-up and a young herd due to a high replacement rate of any cows not performing and apparently hardly see a vet now

Try rereading the last sentence and think about what you are saying. Better idea might be for a group of farmers to share a vet

It was more of paying someone a good wage that has the skills and expertise of a vet to do the stock work with the added benefit of never needing to call the vet out.

Seeing as it seems a herdperson is getting paid more than newly qualified vets.

A vet can also specialise in nutrition, although many grazing herds couldn't justify a nutritionist

I do. But trying to juggle two jobs is difficult and being part time I’m back at the bottom of the pile which has taken a lot of getting used to.
