[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 962526, member: 18809"] does it look like this? [img]http://ranchers.net/photopost/data/500/freedom_small.jpg[/img] This is a cow we bought from a dispersal sale, on-line, and she came out of NE OK. We picked her up the weekend following the sale, and she loaded from a dark, covered crowding pen right into our trailer, in the dark, so I did not see her until we unloaded her at home in SW MO. Both shoulders were swollen, but this side was worse. We waited about 2 weeks, the smaller side went down but this side did not. So we took her to the vet. He drained at least a gallon of white chunky puss, that smelled retched! He left the drain open at the bottom, and it drained for two weeks! You could smell her before you saw her! But it healed after that. I know it would not have healed on it's own, and needed intervention. Vet said the swelling was caused from hitting the head chute to hard. We bought the pair for $1200, and when I weaned the heifer calf off her we sold the cow for $1350 (bred 3 months to our Simm bull), so we did pretty good. Getting ready to bred her heifer calf this fall (she is a Pioneer, the dam pictured was a TC Freedom). [/QUOTE]
