We have had such a critical shortage of large animal veterinarians in this area that there have been times that they don’t even have enough Veterinarians to make farm calls. The shortage of rural  large animal veterinarians is not isolated just to this area. It also is occurring in North Carolina as many states are likely facing. This is gonna create a large problem for all of us that have livestock. And for the veterinarians themselves trying to care for all these animals one farm at a time. not to mention that will cost more for the farmer/owner of livestock because of fees for farm calls.  One of the benefits of being able to haul into their office is that they can see those animals efficiently.  When there’s a true emergency that occurs on someone’s farm And the animal is unable to load then the veterinarian will be better able to attend to their needs.I hope that you will take this issue And all of its consequences Seriously into consideration.I for one I’m so grateful to the veterinarians that care  to my horses. I don’t know what I would do without them. I feel they know best how to care for our animals and livestock.
