    A step on the good side of the foot might be a help to him?

    Washing it daily and he has a shot of Synulox in him.
    Don't think a step would be a massive benefit to him, it's not in the actual cloot/claw but just above it.

    Just a few pics of a few Limousin heifer calves for breeding, off supposedly good maternal bulls.
    1st one - Vermeil S666 heifer
    2nd - another Vermeil S666, really good heifer
    3rd - Pacha PCH, a good bit lighter than the others, even though she is the same age, but alright.

    First one looks like a lovely blocky heifer, second one will grow into a bute of a girl to.

    Yerr, he managed to do a bit of a job on it. But he can still kick :mad:

    It's at jobs like that you realise how useful those foot winches on a crush would be. (when you've a horse lunge rope round his leg and twisted over a bar wedged into the wall!!)


    Hey Kovu, really easy to knock together a foot winch. Get the spare wheel carrier device from a scrapped small lorry. These are exactly the same as a bought hoof lifter device. Should not cost more than 20 Euro. Then fit a wheel to allow easy lifting/lowering control. Steering wheel from the same lorry usually does the trick.

    any you guys scatter bluestone on parlour floor ( or in foot bath in crush) to get rid of foot ulcers or rot in situation like that ,available in 25kg bags or was from miller,vet recommended it to me when milking a few years back, good for killing moss on slates too

    Bluestone used on everything here. Any cut we see almost, easy to dilute in a spray bottle and use in the field. Use it on calves navels in place of iodine too.

    We'd use bluestone here too on the (sheeps) feet.

    But I would have said twould be too severe for navals? :eek:

    Diluted with water it's not too bad. Going by my judgement of accidentally using it on cuts of my own a few times anyway!!:eek::pac:

    Some good citizen is after releasing a load of these lads on my road...as if we hadn't enough of them around the place already. There must be 400-500 wild ones in the valley I live in alone.
