Making Life Harder

I feel like ranting a little bit here. There are several things that are overall important to the health of farm breeding stock whether it’s horses, goats, sheep, whatever especially in certain parts of the country, like here, that are nearly impossible to get unless you go to the vet and pay a huge amount of money for it. Things like bo-se shots (vit b and selenium) and ephinepherine to guard against reactions to vaccinations. I just don’t understand the big deal about either of them although I have found a place to get the ephinepherine (it wasn’t easy either). Neither of these things are something people would use or misuse inappropriately for any reason so why they are so restricted and difficult to come by just makes me angry. I always manage to get it, but it would sure make life easier if it were something that could just be picked up at the farm store, or ordered online like I do the ephinepherine.
