Unfortunately cattle can harbor rabies for long periods of time before showing symptoms. Be very,very careful - rabies is transmitted by contact with saliva in cuts, bites or mucous membranes.. While cattle usually get the "dumb" form of rabies, which causes lethargy an the appearance of choke, they can get the "furious" form and behave aggressively.

Thanks!!

Interesting read. I even learned something, (BTW I am now full up on knowledge for today)...

I had the older more painful ones. Besides the swelling and pain they forgot to mention how sick you get starting on day 8 or so. I was bit by a bat, which is why I have a bat phobia and enjoy shooting the little sons of female dogs....

Hens are finally picking up egg production! I'm hopefully ordering 44 chicks tomorrow, 20 sexed female Naked Necks, 2 sexed male Naked Necks, 20 Sexed female Leghorns, and 2 sexed male leghorns.
Found out when my cousin goes off to college this spring I'm getting her turtles and everything that she has for them!! Excited as I need a new system all together for the pump and filter

Here is one of the songs we are playing for regional band festival this year

Its honestly the easiest one we've ever done in my opinion and a lot of other kids agree. It sound really cool though hopefully our 60 person band can make it sound that full

, and hopefully we can take home 1st Place in our region for the 3rd year in a row

Morning . Lots of topics . Poo eating dogs and rabid cow . Maybe I should share my rabies shot story . Many years ago about 15 years I had the shots . I was rabbit hunting and the dog was baying in a pile of concrete . So I had to go get her . So there is brown fur showing in there just out of reach for the dog . I think well hello rabbit and reach down there . It was not a rabbit and bit me . It was a coon ! So I shot it in the head at close range with the 12 gage . Well later my wife made me go to the ER . Since I blew its brains away I had to take the shot or shots . Not the long series like Ralph had .
