    Cow sliced leg need info

    Ok. thats what i am working with. It looks decent this morning. Main thing i wanted to make sure is that since its so hot and flys are so bad they don't lay eggs. I did give a pen-g shot to boost her. I don't think it will need anymore than 5ccs that i gave her. It wasn't infected to begin...

    actually cayenne pepper works better than black in the tissue regeneration department. The capsican grows new tissue fast. Water therapy is also good for wounds. Just gets really expensive when your buying your water at 10 dollars a thousand.

    freezer beef price

    yeah i agree but.... I all the bones, liver heart and tounge. Those bones have fed me for many weeks! Just wish i could afford to process the current bull i have in the pasture. 700 dollars to do processing. :( And my SS check isn't going to even come close to being able to afford that.
