[QUOTE="darcelina4, post: 1603304, member: 27059"] I bought a calf a few years ago with a broken leg. It was broken between the hock and stifle. It would bend in half but it had not broke through the skin. He was 2 days old. I fashioned a Thomas Schoeder splint by using thin rods a purchased as Lowes. I bent the rods using my truck bumper. I put lots of padding on his leg and taped him into the splint. His foot was in traction. I checked it everyday and often had to retape it all. After 3 weeks we took it off. We kept him in a 6x10 pen in the barn a few more weeks. By the time he was 4 months, you could not tell he had ever been injured. I found the design on the internet [/QUOTE]
