[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 67321, member: 1258"] Hi Chuckie. I am new to the board but I have had 2 experiences with hip lifters. One was on a first calf heifer that pinched a nerve while calving. Took about a month of lifting every day but she made it through. The other one we never did figure out what was wrong with her, had the vet out but it was just one of those things. That cow was only a few days. Never had a cow heal from a broken leg though, just gave one a chance and had to finally put her down. I do hope this cow works out for your friend. My fear, even if the leg appears to heal well, would be next breeding season. As talented as your friend's wife is on people I would think a vet should look at her. Cows and humans aren't the same and it's nice to get a professional opinion sometimes. Especially about the weight of the bull. Sounds to me like your friend is the type that tries to take care of his animals and somehow I don't think he would be happy to have a bull climb on her and hear the leg snap again. :( [/QUOTE]
