[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 540211, member: 1258"] Depends on the situation. Rotating is enough if they are not down long. The problem is the longer they are down the less blood is circulating properly. Massaging is helpful at that point as it gets the blood flowing but lifters do two things - they get the blood moving and once a cow stands even when lifted it seems to give her a psychological boost to live. The desire to fight is the most importatnt. I should have put a caution in my first post. Before using lifters (really before doing any rotatitng even- but especially before lifting) you should ensure the pelvis is not cracked and that is why the cow is down. [/QUOTE]
