[QUOTE="NewRenoFarmsInKY, post: 1807565, member: 32426"] I know I don’t post on here much, but I read it every day to keep up with the goings on. Had a first for me yesterday-a tail injury that’s in line with the post. Checked the cows about 10am, all was well. Got home from a Dr.’s appointment, and the cattle were up front getting water and my bull was a bloody mess! From the window I assumed it somehow injured both back legs-but there was no limping to be seen. Ran outside and immediately administered Draxxin via darts to stave off any infection. Didn’t see any obvious wounds, no problems with his hair either. Came back-gave some extra heavy fly spray to the bloody area. A little while later there looked to be more fresh blood, so I moved the cows to the pasture with my working facilities and got him in the chute. As I was cleaning the blood it all sluffed off-no obvious injury-but it didn’t take long to see a tail bleed. Somehow my “prize” bull lost the end of his tail 😖 Had my wife (who is fortunately a wound care nurse) help me stop the bleeding and get him doctored up. I swear these cows are driving me nuts! It’s always something… [/QUOTE]
