Heifer number 83 (small balck one) has a limp in her rear right leg. Please could you report in if you see it with a quick sentence for us?

Hello all,

One to watch out for and monitor.

We have just had a report that one of our heifers (heifer #83) has a limp in its rear right leg. It’s one of the smaller black heifers. A member of staff has been up to see and confirm that it is indeed limping as of today. But it’s keeping up with the herd, and continues to graze normally. In my experience, these strains usually sort themselves out in a week or so, we hope that by this next week the problem will have been sorted itself out. Our stocksman is aware of it and will give the animal a chance to heal naturally before giving it anti inflammatories, these animals should be viewed as wild animals, they are very hardy and are out there 365 days a year, so please not be overly concerned.

That’s about it for the time being. Thank you for your time.
