Dear Regulatory Board

I was made aware that they are working towards stricter regulations on facilities for animal welfare.  I am a momma cow farmer in VA and have 300+ momma cows.  I have cattle in 5 counties.  I do not always have the ability to have working facilities or the proper knowledge to handle or best take care of my animals.  I depend frequently on my local veterinarian.  There's not many of them and they are in short supply as is. I do not see how more regulations can allow them to better help the animals or the farmers.  If there's more regulations then there's more for them to watch and worry about and not help the animals in need.  They're already in short supply so futher straining their ability to help the farmer is not going to help any one.  It will cause animal suffering because it will slow the ability to help and service my animals when I need it.   So if anything more regulation on an already over worked veterinarian will worsen animal care.   Please do not futher regulate a field that is already over worked.
