Testimonials: Custom Combination

It was calving season, and I was getting some of the cows and calves in the corral to get a better look at some of them. One of the cows had hidden her calf in the brush, so I and my wife were down looking for the calf when one of my children came looking for us. She said we had a cow stuck in the panel at the corral, so we went to see what the problem was.

When we got there we found one of the heifers that we had put in the corrals, (which were made out of portable panels) had put her head through one of the feeder panels and began pushing until she had pushed the panels into a long diamond shaped pen, which had then tipped over on her head and she was laying on the panel that her head was through. She had been in this predicament for about an hour when we got to her and she was about dead. We hurried and got the back hoe and picked her off from the panel and got her laying upright, but she could not get up. I and my brother considered just butchering her and salvaging the meat but I hated to orphan the calf so I decided to try to save her.

I ran into Mickey the following evening and told him what had happened and asked if he had anything that would help her. He said he thought he did and wanted to know if I wanted it that night or if I wanted to wait until morning. I told him that morning would be fine.

As it was raining and quite cold I covered her with a tarp that night to try to keep her body heat regulated, and the next morning I went to Mickey’s office and picked up some herbs that he special mixed for me. I went directly home and mixed up a pretty good dose and pasted the cow that morning and again that night. The next morning, which was the third day after the initial accident, the heifer was up when I went out to feed. Although she has a stiff neck she is going to be fine, and raise me a calf this year.

I never thought this cow would ever get up again, nor did anyone that saw her. But these herbal supplements did a good job.
