Hoof trouble in wet barnyards and muddy pastures can set in fast, and it helps to have a proven treatment on the shelf before you need it.

Kopper Kare Thrush from Dominion Veterinary Laboratories is a fungicide, antiseptic and astringent for topical use on cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and horses. It is labelled for treating cracks and thrush in the hoof, and as an aid in managing foot rot, digital dermatitis and other fungal conditions.

Clean the affected area, remove excess dirt, dry it well and apply with a brush or clean cloth twice daily. For external use only, and always follow the label directions.

SATURDAY FARMYARD DEBATE!

Alright, farm folks... time to settle something important!

Which farm animal has the BIGGEST attitude?

Is it the goat that thinks it owns the place? The chicken that picks fights with everyone? The horse that suddenly forgets all its training? Or the cow that refuses to cooperate?

We all know there's at least ONE troublemaker on every farm!

Tell us your answer in the comments. Better yet, share a photo of your farm's biggest troublemaker!

Let's see which animal takes the title!

Spending more time walking fence lines than fixing them?

Tracking down a short in your electric fence can be frustrating, especially when you've got a long stretch of fencing to check!

The Gallagher Fence Volt / Current Meter and Fault Finder helps take the guesswork out of electric fence troubleshooting.

This handy tool measures voltage and current while showing the direction of current flow, helping you locate faults faster and get back to the rest of your day.
Its extendable voltage probe makes it easier to check hard-to-reach areas, and its compact, pocket-sized design means it's ready to go wherever the job takes you.
Less time searching. More time getting things done!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at CCWG!

The turkey would also like to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving — although he has requested we keep the celebrations focused on the potatoes, stuffing and pumpkin pie this year.

Whether you’re spending the day around the table, in the barn, or sneaking in chores between servings, we hope you have a safe and happy Thanksgiving with family and friends.

A Thanksgiving reminder from CCWG:

All CCWG locations will be closed Monday, October 12 for Thanksgiving.

While many of us get to enjoy a day off, we know chores don’t take a holiday. To all the farmers and producers still feeding, checking livestock and getting the work done — thank you for everything you do.

We wish our customers, staff and farming communities a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Regular hours will resume Tuesday, October 13.

What’s happening on your farm this weekend?

Around the farm, there’s always something on the go — livestock to look after, equipment to fix, chores to catch up on, or a project that somehow made its way onto the weekend list.

We want to see what you’re up to!

Share a photo in the comments and tell us where you’re farming. Big job, little job, or just a great moment from around the farm — we’d love to see it.

Have a great weekend from all of us at CCWG!
