Garlic is good for animals especially for young calves. People give it to calves before the put them on aftergrass as it keeps them from taking the "Black Leg". There is a cure in Garlic. If a person or and animal is sick and take the garlic that was set on Good Friday it would cure them. Garlic is given to cattle to purify the blood.
