[QUOTE="TLCfromARK, post: 74951, member: 198"] [We have had cows and calves get bitten by Copperheads, usually the leg, it swells up and gets stiff, but none have ever died from snakebite. The swelling goes down after a week or two. [/quote] I agree, most bites in the leg area, not a lot of problems. I do remember back when I was a kid my Dad losing one older calf ( ~400 lbs ) that he suspected to be a snake bite in the neck area. We found it down next to a marshy area where we always saw water moccasins, a large swelling in the fleshy part of the dew lap. ;-) [/QUOTE]
