[QUOTE="Schmitty, post: 1447674, member: 29882"] I am having a similar situation with my 3-4 year old steer. Went out to top off their water and throw out some alfalfa pellets and noticed the steer couldn't get up and stand or walk. Instantly I thought broken leg. We got him up and moved to the front pasture away from the rest of the moo crew. Called the vet out, she checked him over, said no definite breaks other than a possible fracture in the knee cap. She hit him with antibiotics and pain killer. He was up and hobbling around an hour later. He has been able to get up and move around since. But walks like an old man after a hip surgery. He can't be put back in with the others as the bull is pushy and is probably the reason he has the limp. I'm hoping for a full recovery. [/QUOTE]
