[QUOTE="aussie_cowgirl, post: 685649, member: 1279"] Yeah never mind the bacteria from the faeces coming in contact with the reproductive system :roll: Never mind the old front to back rule, it's nonsense apparently. People often cull animals with short tail heads because the animals crap in their vulva and are therefore prone to infection. I never said the tail lift was conscious, it's an unconscious movement. If the animal is not doing actions that are unconscious (lifting, swatting flies etc) it means it's not a pinched nerve. If you have a broken rib you still breathe right? Even though it hurts? Or even though you have a sore tooth you still yawn yeah? Same thing. Regolith: True about the sheep thing. I think in an instance like this complete removal of the tail would be acceptable because of the possible health risks. I think with the rebreeding the risk would be more in the tail not moving so the bull might have trouble entering... At least with your cow the tail has moved to the side permanently. [/QUOTE]
