[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16224"] I would scoop them out then burn them, then spray with a good fly control spray, Burning helps seal off the would and will reduce the fly problem as there will be less fresh open flesh to attract them, spray a good quality fly spray over the open area, Holes will heal and drop scabs with in 2-3 weeks, this is what we have been doing on our commercial calves, works great, looks good too after it is all healed. Also it is important to first clip the hair around the horn base, and wash, this will reduce the rate of infection, and it reduces the the hair around the area you work on where blood and other drainage can accumulate, which also attracts flies. This does not take a lot of time but will greatly reduce fly and infection trouble. [email=kemilimo@tca.net]kemilimo@tca.net[/email] [/QUOTE]
