Injured Cow On the Farm has me worried

What happens here

Integrate a cattle handling system into the grazing plan for tasks like ear tagging, health checks, and general processing. The farmer has a Tarter sheeted sweep system leading into a Cattlemaster Series 6 squeeze chute. This system allows for safe and efficient processing of cattle. Also, incorporate pond management techniques by applying pond dye to keep water clear and using riprap (rock barriers) along pond banks to prevent erosion, ensuring healthy fish habitat.

Goal: Manage existing farm infrastructure for animal health and property integrity.
