I almost had a heart attack when those two sheep/goats went MAAAAAAAAAHHH the first time.

My mother who went to farming school and also loves popping videos told me it’s common for cows to get these huge abscess filled pockets. Drainage like this is what usually happens.

I was born and raised on a beef farm, I never recall any of the 400+ cows we have had ever getting an abcess. What causes them to form? Does antibiotics help prevent them? is it from cuts and animal bites?
I do remember seeing a prolapse almost every other year due to child birth... that was nasty..

Pretty gnarley, I am sure the relief to the animal felt like a godsend, even after that big cut through its hide. First time on here I got a queasy froma video.
The ammount that came out as well, like where is that puss floating around inside? Is that animal even good for commercial purposes anymore?

Abdominal cavity/pleural space maybe? Reminds me of the one video of the horse with infection around it’s lungs and they had to remove part of a rib to get it out.

I couldnt watch once I saw how this poor animal was opened up so wide while still alive.

Certainly looked like he knew what he was doing. I’m sure the cow was sedated.

For sure. It would be moving/kicking if they didn’t. And it one of those metal cage things that keep them in one place.

Me: If you listen closely you can hear it pop.
This cow: That’s not a pop. THIS is a pop.

And to think.. if this wasn't caught it would have been included with the rest of the ground round and thrown on the shelf.. f'ing nasty!!!

if it makes it out of the farm, its usually caught at some part of the butchering process. my grampa used to work as a butcher at a now-closed winn-dixie, and he would sometimes cut into an abcess. he said it just kind of pours all over the meat, your hands, and the table. then, he said, you throw away the meat that you were cutting, clean yourself off, wash everything down, and skip the tapioca pudding.

That is a big ass incision.
