cattle warts

[wablacktoplady]

any experience with cattle warts and what can be done about them? Someone told me that it's in the ground and I can't get rid of it til the cows have been off the ground for two years.

Warts seem to come from just about anywhere. Of a pen full of claves you might get one or 20 that get them and the rest aren;t bothered. They'll go away in time on their own or you can crush a couple of them and make them bleed, that may or may not accelerate them going away.
OR, you can tear some off and feed them back to them, or you can tear them off and feed them to the neighbors cousins dog or bury them by tyhe full moon under the neighbors brother-in-laws back steps. The whole pricinicle is to make them bleed and in theory starts the reaction in the animal to fight the virus that causes them.

My bull seems to be able to knock them right off any heifers that are afflicked with warts. But like Dun says, they will go away and shouldn't be a problem unless its a show calf or something. Then you can buy medicine.

Dun is right on. Make them bleed or get them irritated and they will start healing themselves.

If you don't make them bleed or do anything else they'll still go away.
