I just got through rubbing on some silicone glove from Avon.

You are correct, Udder Butter is great.

Major LOL!!! When I was in high school I worked in a drug store, yeah some what like George Bailey (it was a good job). Awesome girl in my class worked there. We sold some veterinary supplies, we had bag balm....she didn't know what it was for...I told her, then I told her that some people use it too...........

As a kid growing up my mom would smear bag balm on us for what ever ailed us. But we used to run when she brought out the mercurichrome. Remember the orange stuff that burned worse than the cut ?

I remember that very well, that and the original Listerene. That stuff was awful!

That container has the word "Work" right on the lid.

You can keep that stuff away from me.

Can't forget Corn Husker's Lotion. That's the first one I recall using.

When I worked with the concrete every day, I always had a can of Bag Balm in my trowel bucket. Didn't really know any finishers that didn't have at least something similar.

Yes. And had mercury in it!

Bag Balm isn't just for hands.....When I was rowing a lot it was good for lubing the oar leathers (cow hide,) oar locks in the sockets, blisters, and seat tracks.
It's the "duct tape" of skin care!

I use Corn Huskers this time of the year. My hands get so dry they crack wide open without it I have a rough time!

Bag Balm all the way. My in-laws introduced me to that concoction and boy does it work. Hard to find sometimes, but my feet need that lotion from time to time.

Bag balm: Haven't thought of it in years. As a kid in the '50s, my folks milked about a dozen cows====by hand, in a rickety old drafty barn, dirt floor, no heat before daylight, and finish before school bus time. In winter, we used bag balm when we milked, or if not, the cows teats would chap, and crack. Was good for our hands too, but better wash good before school, or it could be smelled from across the room.

We milked, carried it to house porch, run it threw the separator, sold the cream, and carried the skimmed milk back to barn, and bucket fed the calves, and gave the rest to the hogs.

We used Bag Balm too ,,we got it from the Wadkins man who came around door to door in the country and sold us it ..
