[QUOTE="Dee, post: 554903, member: 350"] I was checking cows today, and a bull calf had a tick on his butt. I got it pulled off, but it was strange looking. Not like the blood filled dark ones you see on a dog. It was longer, skinnier, and flesh colored. Then I noticed the older bull had them in his "arm pit" area front and back. Probably a dozen on him total. They were poured three weeks ago, and I have never seen a tick on a cow before. Is that what they are? Is it a health threat to them? Is there something I need to treat them with? I usually put up a back rubber when the flies start to bother, but they seem fine now. [/QUOTE]
