My Lord, what rock do you folks crawl out from under?

SO you would have no problem with an unlicensed/untrained ultrasound person doing an ultrasound on your wife's possible breast cancer diagnosis or a lump in your child  stomach or a lump on your right testicle?

People every day are thrown in jail for performing medical treatments without  a license and they should be.

Those two yahoo farmers were told to stop and they didn't is why their arses were thrown in jail.

I suppose they could just reach in there arm deep and feel around instead of bouncing a few sound waves around and finding out. How do you feel about ranchers pulling calves? sewing up cuts? removing horns? branding? turning little bulls into steers?
Quit assuming farmers are ignorant hicks.

And instead of implying their or our wives are 'cows', recognize that no one is proposing human doctors be replaced with the local rancher, but from what I saw during COVID, my bets are on the guy who gives a shit if the patient actually survives more than their insurance policy.

As for the cows, and their progeny, that's money to ranchers/farmers, but only if they live healthy lives, gain weight, and get to market. Believe me when I say they are not going to endanger the means of production, nor the product.

"As in the days of Noah..."

Yep.
