[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 1552516, member: 18682"] I was pushing the grain and minerals when she started self sucking.. I suspect it started with a udder that was full and hurt -then it went from there. She just wont put on weight even when on high grain,( barley and de-wormed )so I cut her almost off and she only gets a small amount of grain now and hasn't lost anything that I can tell, but it is the self sucking that HAS to be stopped. I don't want the other cows following her example, so other than at feeding time she is housed by her self.. I had a goat years ago that did that and she totally ruined her udder. She got mastitis so bad that she had abscesses inside of the udder that worked their way to the surface and I lanced the pus out of the outside of the udder..( she was on antibiotics to boot) Is tar toxic for them to ingest?? I am not in the barn all the time to use a shock collar, but the thought has occurred.. Thanks... [/QUOTE]
