Figure 1
A mature cow in a pasture where the primary plant species is Hordeum jubatum, informally known as foxtail barley. This annual species, reproducing only from seed, presents as a bunch grass, bluish green, reaching heights of 50 cm and is a noxious weed in prairie pastures. Although it has some feed value before the awns appear, mature plants are a physical hazard. Pasture rejuvenation requires competitive seeding of saline-tolerant species and application of fertilizer. Although the plant is difficult to control with herbicides, early-season mowing can reduce seed development and risk to cattle.
Figure 2
Figure 2
A mature cow in good body condition with marked swelling in the right face and jaw and open draining tracts consistent with actinobacillosis, as skin lesions are located directly over regional lymph nodes. This cow also had prominent right jugular dilation, suggesting a space-occupying mass in the chest or at the thoracic inlet. Chest and mesenteric abscesses are commonly detected at slaughter in cattle with advanced cases of actinobacillosis. A dilated jugular vein is not a specific observation, as it can be a sign of heart failure or traumatic reticuloperitonitis.
