What does Mr. Geraghty mean by "with their own vet"? I have a vet who comes to my yard. I know all about the dry-cow tube thing. It is possible to get samples through Tirlán or whoever supplies them and we are able to have selected therapy. I know all that. We are doing all that. We do not need people like Mr. Geraghty coming in here to tell us that.

I am concerned about the ordinary tube for a cow that gets mastitis. Every time a cow gets mastitis, which I know all about bringing in the cows in the morning or the evening, do I need to ring my vet because I will only be given four tubes? I ask Mr. Geraghty to answer yes or no to those questions.
