[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1837242, member: 40587"] When Scott left with Zeke, me and Clay got in the Ranger and rode over the hill to find Gail. She just stood there while I walked up, made a rope halter and put in on her. Clay sat in back of the Ranger leading her, and I drove out . We were gonna take her to the horse barn and see about her wounds. The other cow and all 5 calves followed along. We left Gail's 2 with the other 3 and the other cow, and they are just fine with it! We led her in the barn, where we have hot water, and mixed up some iodine soap with warm water, and cleaned her cuts very well. The one on her shoulder got pretty deep in the muscle, but she let me get down in it pretty good with the turkey baster,. The one on her belly just sliced open the top layer of skin. But every time she walked, it pulled that shoulder wound open. It needed stitching , and we had the stuff to do it. The barn fridge is full of every kind of med we need for horses and dogs, but not cattle. We never needed any with the Corr herd, but will going forward with Zeke's cow-calf thing going. We have ACE, Rompum, and Dermosadan (sp?), but we didn't know which is safe for, or even works on, a cow.
