[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 775656, member: 852"] Break right below the stifle... can a mature cow walk on it? 2-3 year old cow, lame on the left hind, she's not 'stifled', hip and pin bones at same height, no swelling anywhere on the leg, but I'm told she's been this way for a couple weeks. Leg looks/is used in the same manner as a 200lb calf I saw at a vet clinic last summer (intern) that was diagnosed with a broken leg. I'd figured a mature cow wouldn't bear weight on it, but I had the opportunity to look at her today and she gets around pretty good. Is it possible to walk on it if it's broken? [/QUOTE]
