Have any of you ever had a Massage Therapist work on a cow?
I have a Massage/Bodywork woman that comes and works on my horses. I've seen amazing results. So I asked her one day, did she ever works on cows...
So we had a 2 year old come in this fall, and she would skip/hop when she trotted, on the hind end. Rather than just cull her, as she is young and bred, I thought it might be an idea to have her worked on. As it turned out, she had a rotated pelvis, and has been moving pretty normally since (3 weeks). She's scheduled to have another session, hopefully the end of January.
My thoughts are, if it can be fixed, and I don't have to cull a young (or even older) cow because of it....$80 is pretty cheap when you consider probably under $800 for cull, and $2000+ to replace her.
