[QUOTE="hillbilly beef man, post: 1173454, member: 4786"] I know you hate lose them but you did the right thing. I have fooled with a couple dozen in the condition you described. My grandfather forgot more about cattle than I will ever know, but his biggest fault was he did not know when to give up on them. We would hook a hip lift or canvass sling to them and get them up several times a day with a chain hoist. This would go on for two to three weeks till they started to rot inside (if you have ever had one do this you never forget the smell). In all the time we worked down cattle we never saved a single one. Now if one gets down we try to bet her up with a hot shot or a pitchfork as soon as they get down. If they do not get up within 24 hrs we put them down. You are not doing the animal or yourself any good by prolonging its misery. [/QUOTE]
