[QUOTE="FullCircleWVa, post: 1750795, member: 42342"] My favorite cow, Red, calved last year April 1, this year March 31 to a nice simangus heifer. I went up to check on her I want to say around mid March and noticed she had a freshly ripped teat on her front right quarter. Man talk about a punch in the gut, made me sick because she is absolutely my best cow. Thankfully the flies weren't around much yet and I was able to dose the wound with blu-kote twice a day to keep infection at bay. I knew she wouldn't let the calf nurse that quarter because of the soreness and I was afraid that she would lose that quarter to hard milk or something.. WELL, just let it be known a few weeks ago I go to check as usual and see the heifer calf nursing that quarter.. talk about a good feeling. She's got a scar but she still milks all from all 4 and that made me hoop and holler. I scoured my entire property for any sign of barbed wire down or something that she got caught on and I saw nothing.. I do a good job on keeping trash and random oddities out of the pasture, so I'm not too sure where she got caught up.. Although this worked out A-okay in the end.. is there a better option to blu-kote and bag balm for getting a wound like that under control? I feel as if I got lucky on this one.. but I'd rather be lucky... [/QUOTE]
