Yes, yes, and yes, Have had a 500 lb steer fall in one, neighbors dog found him and we were able to get him out alive. I’ve had a 200 lb calf in one that we were able to pull out and also a baby calf a few days old. Thankfully have never had one die from falling in. Have had a calf break a leg...

Not in my recent memory, though I'm sure in severe drought conditions it does. On down the branch does dry up in the summer during extended dry spells, but there's always some water right there just below that hole at the bottom of the hill.

I have used patches in conjunction with antibiotic treatment. The patches help to keep out light, dust and flies. I don’t always use the patches, but if I have them on hand it’s a good practice I believe. I have kept the affected animals up in a barn for a few days after treatment too instead...
