[QUOTE="TheLazyM, post: 408173, member: 3117"] The biggest thing we have to worry about on snake bites is like what has already been stated is if the bite is on the neck or nose. The bite is going to cause swelling and can suffocate the animal. It will be unlikely {not inpossible} that the bite will cause death. The snakes venom glades put out enough to kill its pray. 200 lb cattle has enough body mass to esorb the venom. This is not to say that the bite can not kill a 1000lb cow. Its just very unlikely. Venom is injected into horses and their antibodies are harvested to make antidoute. I know they use horse cause of the body mass and horses antibodies work very rapidly and are very easy to work with. [/QUOTE]
