This is where building up a good relationship with a local vet comes in handy.. The only reason a vet would be hesitant to give someone a bottle of epi is because of the danger that the buyer will use it to make meth, and that it will somehow come back on the vet.. When they *know* you, and know that you raise livestock, that concern -- the only real concern -- is lessened greatly and vets are much more likely to sell you a vial.

It's hard to get to that point with a vet without being a *regular* customer, though.. And, yes, that means spending money at the vet..

The upside is that epi's not the only thing they'll be willing to sell you if they know you.. That's why I have a bottle of Dexamethasone in my cabinet...and Lutalyse, and Bo-Se, Excenel, SMZ-TMP, Lidoject, etc.. And anything else Rx I need would be a phone call away.
:thumbsup And he's only a phone call away.

Me three...or is it 4? A great vet is as much a necessity as a well built barn or a good feeding program.
