I've never worried about heifers not dropping their milk, they do eventually anyhow. But maybe you are referring to the old timers who used to put a hose into their vagina and blow air into them to stop them kicking? (Obviously another I'll informed idiot we have here) yes nah that's highly illegal these days, specifically refers to the practice in the animal welfare code. Never had aggressive heifers either, we spend most of winter running them through the shed each day and letting them get used to the machine running, music playing etc and by calving time they're calm as.

Also mr gsp follower, can you point out the abusive part of the post I made please? Just so we are all on the same page. To me there was nothing abusive about it at all, maybe it struck a nerve with some who have no other way to defend themselves than try change the subject and make a personal attack on somebody?

What's the point of blowing air up there? The health and safety board at work has a page on the hazards of compressed air and how it can kill from embolism.
