[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 775915, member: 12607"] I'm with cowdirt's vet on this one. Femoral and high tibial fractures can heal without casting or splinting - and fairly well, at that. One leg may end up shorter than the other - which could be a problem for a bull mounting to service cows, but if it's a cow, all she's gotta be able to do is walk around, eat, and raise a calf. However, I'd still be more inclined to suspect a stifle injury, such as a ruptured ACL. Much more common in breeding-age cows than a fracture. [/QUOTE]
