[QUOTE="stocky, post: 279350, member: 1150"] The cow should be past the dangerous time if you keep the flies out of the hole. If you want to keep her, the quarter should seal up in time and she should be fine as a 3 quarter cow. If you want to sell her, I would keep her until the quarter dries up and heals and she gets her weight back. If you sell her before the hole dries up and heals she will bring about 5-10 cents per pound. If you wait, she will bring full slaughter price---right now that is 40-50 cents per pound. We had this happen at times to milk cows, we sold them when they healed. When it has happened to beef cows, we have kept them and continued to raise calves on them. [/QUOTE]
