[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1527297, member: 22072"] We had a calf we pulled off a heifer that wasn't getting enough to eat and was just about starved. He was weak, but healthy. We worked some cows and put the calf in another pen while we worked them. At some point, the bull that was also in that pen, broke the calf's front leg between the ankle and knee. Set, splinted and brought that calf back to health... He was using it well with the cast on and i waited for about 3 weeks past that to take the cast off. Duration of cast on was a 1 1/2 month... How long can i feel safe in letting him out of a pen into the pasture with other calves? He's using it well and amazingly we casted it good enough for it to heal straight. [/QUOTE]
