I have not posted on cattle today for some time, but had to share an incident. A friend called me the other day, telling me about an problem he had with a cow. He was worming cows and using pore on wormer. He had done a few when one got stubborn and would not move after being wormed. So, he grabbed the hot shot. Bumped her with it, and She caught on fire! He tried to put her out with his hands and could not, got a towel from the shop and got her extinguished. Minor burns, and the cow is fine, but what an adrenaline rush for the cow and my neighbor.
This was a first for me. It could have gone bad so many ways. Word of warning, do not use a hot shot around alcohol based wormers. When you think you have seen it all with cattle, you probably have not seen anything yet.
