[Jacob-list] Sore or injured teats

[RnS1260 at aol.com]

We have a Jersey cow that managed to step on one of her teats when first 
freshened. OUCH! We have found that the bag balm is soothing, but at some 
point you need to dry and heal the wound. We simply use the teat dip which 
contains iodine. We applied before and after milking. No need to dry this 
off, as we were tossing the milk. This seems to both disinfect and dry. It is 
a painful process, but you must keep them milked out in order to keep away 
from any risk of mastitis. Hope this helps.
