[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1641137, member: 25884"] JL.... take the calf, get a piece of pvc and cut in half longways and tape leg inside... try to get it straight as you can.... have gotten many mended that way.... use a size that will be okay for a couple of weeks.... then take it off. They heal real quick on real young calves if they are getting up and nursing and otherwise doing all right. Had a friend that used to keep the center cardboard rolls from net wrap.... cut to length and split in half for lower leg problems...they are stiff cardboard, but would work better than the pvc and sometimes they would just kinda rot off if they got wet a few times. They watched them close but saved a few broken legs that way; sometimes made the fetlock joint stiff, but they learn to get around real well from the beginning.... Can't hurt to try if it is bad...
