And it is hard for those who have never done that type of work to really understand how attached we get and how important the health of our cattle really is to us.

I've said it before, perception can be waaaaay worse than reality.DebbieLBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09761837297164534283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004196197506737919.post-27004140571270464722012-12-13T14:09:00.926-06:002012-12-13T14:09:00.926-06:00I agree, CollieFarm.

Just like with kids, cattle get sick and need treatment. We try to do what is right.DebbieLBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09761837297164534283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004196197506737919.post-50880466828121004722012-12-12T05:26:08.468-06:002012-12-12T05:26:08.468-06:00I pinned and tweeted your post this morning.

But I'm about fed up with dog-paddling in manure spreading out there by extremists and politicians that does nothing but create fear.

I never thought of them as such a miracle drug until I started raising ruminants. :-D But now I realize they are a really important management tool; I think it would cruel to exclude them.
