Veterinary care has been a problem every year we have been farming. We have found two basic problems with veterinarians. First, we found only two willing to treat large animals. One in each of the counties bordering us. They both have a different problem. One sees no value in treating large animals and therefore gives no serious care to them. The other simply doesn't like to be bothered with it and becomes very grouchy during service. Both have no problem accepting payment for their sorry quality of care. T
As a result of the veterinary problem mentioned above, and refusing to let anymore of our animals suffer due to poor care, my wife decided to do something about it. Five years ago she began attending college to become a veterinarian herself. She is now in her fifth year, the first year of Vet school, attending Lincoln Memorial University which has a superior Veterinary program. Her education must become our primary focus. As a result, we are icing the farm. What does that mean? We are not closing the farm!
