Buy a new vice grips and take the screw out of it, but then youll have to buy another to replace the screw in the new one you just bought.
Try your mechanic/garage they might have a broken one, theres a few here somewhere :rolleyes:

He was still alive this morning, breathing easier. I gave him the 2 injections the vet left for me to give him. the vet arrived out to check if he was akright too. (The vet is a cousin of mine) The vet said it was because the group of bulls we have, have lung worm. Dosed them with a lamvaisile dose yesterday to stave off further cases before we house them. This is the first time we ever bought bulls, don't think we'll be doing it again.

lungworm has been a C all this year long, early in the year I had serious problems, I wouldnt put it down to that fact that they are bulls. talk to your vet cousin about vaccinating the animals as its a super insurance policy. Otherwise watch the rest of the animals like a hawk,

Anyone know where you can get them cow scratchers? The ones that are like two brush heads and on springs and you bolt then to a wall?

completely disagree with you, Old saying was the land was no good without itching stone, albeit there were serious ectoparasites back then. If I had cows I definitely would have a brush to keep them happy. Every girl needs a hair brush

Few Yard brushes and make yourown. Or if your willing to hunt one down and get lucky, find the round sweepers off an old roadside sweeper.
