HollowHorn and HollowTail would be my first two guesses. Have a neighbor who still treats hollowtail by splitting the tail and pouring in salt.
Ignorance, sheer stupidity. :roll:
And don't forget about boring a hole in that horn to relieve the pressure that had built up.MikeC":38vmxgb2 said:Ryder, The old folks would separate the cow and the calf at night so they would have some milk to drink the next day. With all the milk the cow was producing, she had a serious calcium defiency and would actually deplete her own bones of calcium for the milk production. The bones in the tail would be the first to go.
