Not if you want to take good care of them! Vets are like dentists - over priced - and they have you over a barrel. When we had our farm, to have a vet come and care for a cow cost practically nothing, but woe to you if you took you cat or dog to the vets office. That cost an arm and a leg. We just had to have our Cassie put to sleep. She had cancer. The Vet, " Well for $20.00 more we can dispose of her body - and for $20,00 more than that we can cremate her ---. "No thanks we will bury her ourselves in a place where she loved to be". She won't know it, but we will.
