[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1004803, member: 637"] My husband had a heifer to break off one side of her hoof when it was caught in an old portable squeeze chute. The chute was no longer used after this incident. After getting her up for a couple of treatments, he let her go, and waited to see what happened. It was too stressful to get her up and a long painful walk do more damage. She refused to come up to eat, and had plenty of pasture to eat. She lost weight, but was not skin and bones, which was good because she did not need a lot of weight on her foot. She was an easy keeper, and eventually she showed back up to the feed trough about fall time, and walked normally with a fall calf. Time healed her foot, and she made a good cow. She is a real nice smooth bodied red angus that holds her weight well. It was worth the time of letting her heal. She did gain good size, and had no trouble calving. So, hopefully, with a clean pasture, your cow will recover. Chuckie [/QUOTE]
