[QUOTE="madbeancounter1, post: 116301, member: 2046"] Thanks guys for the additional information. I watched the guys my boss hired to help work his cows this year do the cutting. It's a wonder what a sharp pocket knife can do... I've plenty of experience cutting hogs but we always banded the calves. I think that's my preference still. Course some of the neighbors always cut the calves and saved the nuts for what they called "Mountain Oysters". Not my favorite dish either... they were pretty good until I found out what they were... never tell a 6 year old what he's eating voluntarily... it can leave a lasting impression. Anyway to bring it back around to the lump on the neck... Had to leave work early yesterday for one of the kids dental appointments which got cancelled so instead of driving the 35 miles back to the office I hooked up to the trailer and took the heifer in question to the vet. Turns out the swelling is just a hard swelling not an abcess. He gave her a shot of antihistamine and another of X. Told me to watch her for the next week and if the knot doesn't show signs of reduction that we can cut across the top of the swelling and peel it out. And yes, as I read on another post questioning the time that someone was up and writing. I hit the sack right after doing chores, was up at 1:30am and in the office by 2:50am and doing all that work that I missed out on yesterday pm.... Will still have to leave around 6:30 am to go back for am chores and make sure eveyone is up at the house.... 1st day of school for my kids.... [/QUOTE]
