My heifer now has like these big swollen lumps behind her ears. They feel hard, and have swelled up a lot. I dont know if something bit her, or what happened. What should I do to treat this?

So if it turns squishy then I need to treat it? What would I treat it with?

A good pit cooked barbque will solve the problem.

I dont know if its just because the donkey is the new guy in the herd, and the cattle keep trying to run him away when he gets too close, but when they do that the donkey sometimes will jump up and kick. I noticed because the other cattle have little cuts and scrapes in the shape of the donkeys hoof. The donkey is a 6 yr old jack. Is this normal, and will he break this habit once they all get more used to each other? He has been in the pasture with them for 2 weeks and all the cattle have been out there for a few months together. Anything I can do to get him to stop kicking at them?

I doubt any cattle person would put a giraffe or an emu in with his/her cows. It just doesn't make sense to me!
