District XI

Abstract

You can see from these reports that many prac-titioners' consciences are in direct conflict with their D.V.M. In my area, Montana, the practitioners primarily relate to their clients on a profitability basis. I think in some ways that the results that I got on this questionnaire indicate that practitioners relate to their technicians on a profitability basis. Not only on the profitability of the technician in his par-ticular practice, but on the profitability of the client he's using the technician for. In my district there are essentially two types of bovine practitioners. One is the beef cattle practitioner in large range areas, and the other, adairy cattle practitioner.
