What is timber tongue in cattle?

"Timber tongue" is not a recognized medical condition in cattle. It's possible you are referring to a different term or condition, perhaps one of the following:

* Wooden Tongue: This is a bacterial disease that causes the tongue to become stiff and swollen, making it difficult for the animal to eat. It's also known as Actinobacillosis.

* Tongue Lacerations: Cattle can suffer from injuries to their tongues, such as cuts or tears, which can impact their ability to eat and may cause pain.

* Tongue Abscesses: Infections in the tongue can lead to abscesses, which are painful lumps that can make chewing difficult.

If you are concerned about your cattle's tongue, it is best to consult a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
