Glad it wasn't any worse!

Really glad that you called him out and that it’s minor enough that it shouldn’t have any lasting effects. I hope she turns into a great milk cow. Thanks for updating us!

Glad that it turned out to be just an infection that could be taken care of pretty easily. I was hoping for that outcome for you but just thought if you weren't well informed about free martins, you would be raising a heifer that wouldn't be any good. It sounds like the briar could have been on her tail and a couple of swats against her back end and it embedded its self. Like a splinter with us, that gets in and then gets infected. Good luck with her.

Sweet end to that issue. Glad it wasn't anything more serious. Best of luck with her future as the family milk-mobile! Thanks for letting us know the outcome... too many times, we're left hanging and wondering "what ever became of that situation?" Please stay around and visit now and again!
