[QUOTE="M-J-G, post: 8112635, member: 1819"] I don't forget that at all, with only 1 in 9 of our closest practices doing farm animals and very few of them even doing horses, it would be difficult to forget. Even though many females want to do large animals, small animal practice tends to suit best if they have a family, so many end up going that way anyway. If I'm to be honest I'd say that farmers have brought this on themselves in a drive to cut costs by cooking more skilled and keeping stock that need less intervention. I haven't had a vet calve a cow in over a decade, if they come out they are only coming because I can't do a c-section. So apart from blood sampling or something that is very ill I generally don't have them out as I see no point in having a vet out to do things I can do myself. But back in James Heriot days the vet came out to put a bottle of calcium into a cow or debud a calf. So I don't expect there to be a load of vets standing around waiting when I call every few months. [/QUOTE]
