[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10399"] High endophyte invested fescue causes loss of blood circulation and can cause the lower part of the tail to fall off, it also causes foot problems usually referred to as "fescue foot". In parabone and parallel milk parlors the lower portion is sometimes cut off, and sometimes almost all of the tail are removed. It was originally thought that it promoted cleanlines but it's more for convenience when placing the milker on from between the hind legs rather then the side. dunmovin farms > I have be seeing cows come > through the sale with the bottom > half of their tails gone.Seems > like mostly red cows and some > Holtins.Is this caused by a some > kind of wolf worm, tail root are > what?Does antone know what causes > this and how it would effect a cow > for brood purposes or meat? > Thanks.
