[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1747283, member: 24816"] Our longhorn cow looked like she came through the winter hard, but seemed ok otherwise. Calved about 6 weeks ago and despite looking thin seemed healthy and took care of her calf and calf seemed to do good. A few weeks ago noticed her trying to get salt and just kind of sticking her tongue out and into the mineral. Looked odd to me, but at that time we were down with Covid and barely could do the basic feeding ( bottling the bottle calves, feeding weaned calves etc.) so I didn’t try to get her up and get a vet. The other evening we caught the cows moving to the front and pushed them on through the gate ( still can’t hold out very long doing much due to the stupid Covid and pneumonia) The next morning both the cow and calf were in the barn lot so we weaned some older calves and got the longhorn and her calf in the barn. She is not an easy animal to get through a chute so we just took her and calf to the stockyards. She won’t bring anything at all, and we hate taking anything like that to market, but just didn’t feel up to dealing with her. At the yards they said that it was wooden tongue. Is this a fairly common thing? Contagious? [/QUOTE]
