I fired the best ranch hand I've ever had today. His eyes teared up when I told him why. I set him up with his dream job. Ranch foreman at my best friend's ranch. The job comes with a 2 story 4-bedroom ranch house, 2 acres to use as he wishes & a barn for his horses. He earned it

Sometimes ya pull off a miracle. Last night I found a cow in full bloat, like the picture below. Thought she was dead. She was still breathing. I had a piece of 5/16 maple drip line in the truck, so I drove my knife into her, inserted the tube, vented the gas. today she is fine👍

Part of the attack on the cattle industry has been taking meds we need out of the feed stores & making them 'get it from the vet only' which makes it hard to perform emergency care on our cattle when we are typically rural, the vet is hours away & closed on the weekends.

@grace2abide A number of things can cause it. Cows create a lot of gas in their rumen, bloat occurs when this loss of gas is prevented. A simple change in feed can cause excessive fermentation/gas that they can't burp out fast enough, literally the back pressure can stop their ability to burp
