[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 904959, member: 852"] I've seen several like that come through the milking parlor... usually they kicked something (sometimes I watched them do it in the parlor) or caught their leg on/through something. Do they have hay feeders she might have put a leg through? Considering that I broke my foot recently and only just put my crutches away after using them for 7 weeks... I doubt she'd walk on it well after only 2 weeks. I know cows are tough and I've seen complete breaks (can feel entire surfaces of both bones) where the cow would attempt to walk on the leg- but they're not going to walk smoothly anytime soon. I'd put my money on it being a soft tissue injury, rather than a broken bone. [/QUOTE]
