Yes sometimes you are farther ahead to just get shoot the cow. We have two vet services around here. One service charges about double what the other service does. Problem is, the one who charges the lower rate has about ten times the work he can keep up with. For the second cow Jeff got the cheaper fellow on the phone at just the right time and he took care of the cow. Jeff said if he couldn't have gotten ahold of this fellow the cow would have been on the truck to the sale barn the next morning. She simply would not have been worth having the high priced guys show up.
Now least anyone think I am disparaging either of these services, I will say they are both excellent services. If anything, the fellow with the cheaper service is better at saving really sick, borderline "should we try to save her or just shoot her" cases. It's just that one service charges much more than the other.
It's always a balancing act as far as "when to give up on them", isn't it, Bruce?
Oh yeah, the price of milk is down again this month. We are just jumping with joy.
