My farmer fixed up some foot bathes the other day for our pregnant cows. Our cows get plagued with hairy heel warts which is a very painful irritation in their hooves. This can make them go lame if not kept treated. He put a mixture of copper sulfate, step-sept, and water into these square tubs. Someone recommended formaldehyde for foot bathes so that's what they will be using from now on. The cows were a little scared to step in at first, but when they did you could just imagine them saying....ahhhh!
Keeping the cows comfortable and healthy is an important job here
