[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 323758, member: 1258"] I wouldn't try to recast it myself. I also wouldn't leave it on longer than he told you. Casts left on while the calf is growing can cause a lot of problems with the muscles, tendons and bones in the leg. You have a better chance of getting a perfectly healed calf if you replace the cast. We've had a couple over the years with broken legs and have always let the vet do his job. The calves have grown to full size and have had no leg problems. Got more of a profit from them that way than we would have if we'd shot them. [/QUOTE]
