[QUOTE="ksutmc, post: 943416, member: 13893"] About three weeks ago we noticed someone's cow/calf was in a pasture we are renting for our 7 bred cows. The cow had an ugly cut on it's shoulder, assuming she went through the barb wire fence after her calf. The landowner called the owners of the cow/calf to let him know he needed to come get the pair. Was checking our cows yesterday and the cow/calf are still in the pasture and the cow now has a big knot about 12" in diameter on it's shoulder. Obviously, the cow has an abcess or badly infected, although the cow still seems pretty active. Talked to a friend that knows the owners, says they probably will not mess with the cow/calf, they run about 2000 head and it is not worth their time to set up panels and try to catch one pair. So, now what, I can't stand the thought of just letting it go?.? Our cows will be in the pasture for another 4 weeks or so, then we will set up panels and haul them home to calf. I know I just can't take this pair home, doubt if it will be alive or in good shape by that point of time. Could I get the owners to sell me the pair cheap, get a bill of sale, then attempt to treat. I know of someone that has a dart gun, could maybe get some antibiotics in it, don't know if that would be enough. Get I would appreciate all you seasoned cattleman/cattlewoman's advise. ps...there is no gates between the two properties. [/QUOTE]
