A bovine pedicure….

….Rose Hill tech Jane Narrimore trims the nail of a young lady who had an abscess that needed cleaning up.

The heifer moves into the cage…is tightly cinched to the side wall with wide leather straps…and then the whole assembly and heifer is tilted on its side.  The animal is given a mild sedative to calm its nerves.

Wooz could have used something a bit stronger.

We’ve done it in our own chute but without the tilt table, the job is more difficult and probably not quite as good.  The heifer was treated and back in her pasture in an hour.
