Most things we deal with ourselves now. Vet does herd health once a month and address what we can then. Simple stuff we treat ourselves in an emergency (pulling calves, milk fevers, etc.) About the only thing we'd get a vet for now is a twisted stomach or a milk fever that doesn't respond quickly but the cow still has a chance. The rest get a high velocity lead implant. Trying to fix downer cows is an excersie in futility. You dump 5 or 6 hundred into treating a thousand dollar cow for what? Supposing you do save her, most times they don't milk afterwards, are problem breeders and get culled anyway, which will fetch 200 bucks at best... not to mention you spent the time nursing it while you had other things that needed to be done, it hardly paid for it's feed after you saved it, and you still have the vet bill. BT/DT, got the gun. Buy another one. It's cheaper to replace a cow than treat her... The emphasis need to be on prevention, not treatment. That probably sounds hard... and it is, but that's about how it works. For what it's worth, we do have a very good vet practice about 45 minutes away who are quite good to come... but if there's another emergency at the same time, somebody has to wait.
