[QUOTE="Sugar Creek, post: 323341, member: 1383"] Had a nice new bull calf born fine but when I checked the next day it had a broken lower hind leg that had broken through the skin. I was not sure the calf had nursed. Had to haul it in the truck to the nearest vet. He was out on a call and I did not get the calf back home until the next morning. I have the cow and calf up in an old tobacco barn to keep the cast from getting muddy and wet. The calf is nursing good and getting around real well. He says now that the cast (mostly white and blue tape) should be replaced in 10 days to two weeks and I should bring it back to the vet's office. Any chance I could replace the cast myself? The expense of all this makes this a very expensive calf. [/QUOTE]
