This is what the ring looked like on her foot when we went to remove it. It couldn't be a tighter fit if she tried. Where she found it and how she managed to step into it is beyond me.

Bracelet
Sometimes critters do the damnedest things. I noticed a replacement heifer calf was limping on Sunday. I drove up to her to see what the problem was. It is a little cold and dry for foot rot so I wasn't sure what it could be. When I got up to her I figured it out. She had somehow managed to get a big iron ring over her hoof and it was stuck there. We got her in to get it off right away before her leg started to swell up making it harder to remove.

To me this is a tribute to your stock managing skills and dedication. On a lot of places that would have gone unnoticed until it did some damage. Good for you getting it off so quickly and well.

It's amazing that she happened to step on it squarely enough to jam it onto her foot.
