[QUOTE="cyffylog, post: 7373052, member: 53708"] Sadly I have a 17year old suckler cow which has been increasingly stiff on her hind legs and so far has not been able to get up today. All her life she has had rapidly growing hind hooves, needing annual trimming and after this years trim, about 3 months ago, she seemed to have difficulty in controlling her hind legs as if she had nerve damage. It is now the end of the road for her, but the local collection knackers do not put down, only collecting dead livestock. Question is, can a humane kill be achieved with a .22 rifle using a high speed shell? I've never shot a cow, and am worried that the skull may be too thick to achieve a clean penetration. Anyone with any experience please? Cyffylog [/QUOTE]
