[QUOTE="Keren, post: 615130, member: 3195"] Her tail is docked. They are docked for several reasons including to keep udders cleaner (thus reduced incidence of mastitis) and to stop the cows banging you in the head when you are milking them (often with a wet shitty tail ... not fun). You can use a green ring or a docking iron, and it can be done as calves or adults. I'm pretty sure it is now illegal here in oz, though I might be completely wrong about that and either missy or jane might be able to help me out here? We still see plenty of old cows without tails around. Edit to say I just looked up the RSPCA site, seems tail docking is still allowed though not many (16%) people are doing it now [/QUOTE]
