[QUOTE="Keren, post: 453097, member: 3195"] We have had a few broken legs. We use a piece of poly pipe, cut in half, to splint the leg. Heat it up, so you can mold it to the leg. Make sure to fill it with some gauze/cotton wool for padding. Bandage around it. Leave for several weeks/months until improvement is seen. Check for rubbing occassionally. Also make sure the animal is not chewing it off. We have had lots of success doing this - generally the animal goes to slaughter when it is ready. But we did it to a promising young bull once - he is now a five y.o and working and the leg (a front one) doesnt seem to be causing any problems (and his calves are fantastic - wish we'd kept him!) Good luck [/QUOTE]
