    Someone needs to figure out why our cows tend to get sick to calve when Dad is going away for the evening :pac: This yoke is heavy in calf as well, was finding it hard to get up after lying the last week or so.

    Noticed her licking at her leg in the calving pen, assumed it was the dried dirt tugging her skin so started pulling them off her. Noticed my hand go warm all of a sudden, big abscess under one of them and I got covered in pus that smelled like satans asshole after an Indian. Bleuuuuugh.

    Cleaned it out anyway, never seen that before. Wonder how that happened, was there in a while as it's left a good hole about the size of a €2 coin, shallow though.

    It might be no harm to squirt in some salt/water solution to kill off any infection in there.

    silver spray should never be used on an infected wound..... hydrogen peroxide to wash it out

    I wouldn't waste time locking the door. In the meantime I'd have the rifle loaded, the shotgun loaded and probably a bow or two ready.
    Then I'd wait........

    With all the gun safe regs. etc., mightn't have time to get the gun out.

    However, we do keep a Rounders bat in a handy location............

    This is happening down here too. Definitely need some sort of weapon next to you just in case. Sad that it's come to that though.

    Blue texels would be a quiet breed good confirmation didn't kill any yet . We taught the 2 rams weren't working at all but they were all in lamb when scanning them.

    Was getting drum of oil and filter for tractor in machinery place earlier. Lad behind counter ask if I sure I wanted filter. Seemed someone earlier not want filter as they only change filter every second time. Does anyone else do this? Think it false economics as a filter is not very dear and why would you want to keep the crap in the engine. :confused:
    Is it not a bit like washing your feet and putting back on your dirty socks.
