Rain rot, also known as dermatophilosis, is a common bacterial skin infection in farm animals, especially during wet or humid conditions. Though frequently seen in horses, cows, goats, and sheep can also develop this painful condition. While many are aware of rain rot's impact on animals, it’s important to recognize that it is contagious to humans as well, despite common misconceptions. I learned this firsthand at my cow rescue when I contracted rain rot from a sick calf, after being told by a veterinarian that it wasn’t contagious.

At Tennessee Cow Rescue, we don’t use ear tags. Each of our cows has a name and a unique personality that makes them easy to distinguish. However, we understand that many farmers rely on ear tagging to manage their herds. Ear tagging can cause unnecessary stress, pain, and even injury to calves and cows when done improperly. That’s why we’re sharing this guide to proper ear tagging techniques to ensure the process is as safe and humane as possible for the animals.

This curiosity has only deepened as science continues to reveal just how complex and meaningful animal communication can be.

Cows are known for their resilience, but like all animals, they have weather preferences that can greatly impact their comfort, health, and well-being. Here at our rescue, the cows truly come alive in the cooler fall months. As the oppressive summer heat fades, they seem to thrive in the crisp autumn air, much like many of us humans do.
