Only one question: why $2000 or more for vet bills? What species are you treating, and what is being done? We have lots of diverse livestock, and don't some close to that cost. Just curious.

We have btween 8 (20 dogs if we are breeding), horses and goats

I've had several $500 vet bills for crazy stuff.

I do my own sutures, but my wife won't let me get an x ray machine. We have lots of meds for the basics.
