warning - learning the hard way

warning - learning the hard way - Cattle

While tooling around the farm, I noticed my girls and Walden very bothered by flys, I keep a bottle the goo you normally pour on the cow rubs, but didn't have any rubs up, so did what I have done many times, poured the goo on a brush and brushed it on the girls. Now normally, I run up to the house to wash the oily mess off my hands, but was busy and kept working in the hot sun. Ended up with very very serious burns. this picture is them much healed, but you can see it was pretty bad. use with care on delicate muzzles or tender areas exposed to the sun...and wear gloves if you decide to apply by hand! I will scars for the rest of my life...
