No, this was done, I swear, for the good of the Protectorate. For the good of the animals.
Here's a hint: go back and look at when that line item started showing up in camp budgets. I believe it was about five years back.
Then go back to the previous year before that and check the Muggle maternal death rate. Due to complications related to, er, dropping calves.
Compare it to the maternal death rate this year.
See the difference? It's entirely due thanks to the excellence and reliability of those 'animal husbandry services.' But those services wouldn't have made it into the budget at all if they had been called what they really were.
I daresay that for that very reason, Corax Mulciber will cut them immediately if you say something about it.

I sincerely hope that you don't.
