[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 553845, member: 6198"] You've never done the flush the the mouth due to an absess because of something in the jaw? Good for you. Last year flushed the jaw on a cow that got a possible barley awn puncture. Wasn't something we thought could happen, but it did. It might have been from alfalfa hay stem but it had to be done. The point i was trying to make was things happen that you do not expect. Had we not had some sort of chute in place we would not have been able to treat it. The dang cow would have cost more to treat if we had to take her to the vet because did not have the facilities. Oh wait if we did not have the facilites just a good fence how would we have gotten her loaded up to take to the vet. That was the point i was trying to make. You need to know what can happen so you are prepared. If you want to be a good cattle person. 2 cases of foot rot in about 8 years...both times due to excessive moisture no pnemonia in cows or calves in about 8 years 96 calves this year 3 cases of scours that needed to be treated 0 deaths 96 calves 1 death in calving this year due to it being a premie We are not a perfect ranch but one thing we do well is cows I'm not trying to discourage but to give a reality check that there needs to be more in place than just a good fence and a peek 3-4 times a month. A prospective Cow/calf operator needs to know what can happen. You say you are not trying to attack me but in this thread you've gone out of your way to just because I view things differently than you. I view it as be prepared, expect the unexpected other wise it could cost you a calf or a cow or your life...reality. [/QUOTE]
