10 things your
cattle veterinarian
HATES to hear:
1) I know Doc, but we forgot
to vaccinate the cows with
that scour vaccine.
2) I know you just got home
from church, but could you go
back to town to set out some
penicillin. The feedstore’s
closed today.
3) One bull should have
been able to handle it.
4) The mud’s pretty deep, but
we’ll have the tractor there in
case you get your truck stuck.
5) I don’t pay any attention
to the EPD’s, but his birthweight
was low.
6) It has to be the feedlot,
because you should have seen
his full brother a year ago.
7) I thought she might have
started Tuesday, but then it’s
like she just quit laboring.
8) Well Doc, I thought he
was nursing.
9) She’s pretty smoky, Doc,
so you might want to have
two ropes.
10) Doc, I know we should
have seen the cows cycling
before now, but we thought
the bull knew what he
was doing.
