Just thought you might like to check out this link. It's a vet manual and appears to cover a lot of farm animal health info, from poultry to horses to goats.

Some parts are very technical, but......

I found a copy of the previous edition of the Merck manual - at Value Village for $3.99!!!

It is a very useful book to have on hand.

Right on!

Here's a link I found that shows where those glands are actually located, and how this person gets rid of them. I don't know, that seems a little "creepy". I'm having a bit of a problem finding out much about the glands' removal though.

Merck is an excellent general reference, particular for livestock raisers. It is written for animal health professionals, so it can get pretty technical. But it's loaded with info you want to have all in one place.
