[QUOTE="PLR, post: 79013, member: 540"] One of our local ranchers... a good friend of mine lost his first calf of the year in a similar way. It was freezing cold and icy out side and the cow(real ornery one...not able to assist this one) had the calf half out with the hips to go(one more good push) she tried to stand up but slipped on the ice esentially "Sitting Down" on the calf.. breaking its back. she made it up the second time and successfuly delivered the calf. But he watched the calf for the next day and it was healthy and active... but never moved its back legs. he finally put it out of its misery. Even with as few cows as i have, i have had my fair share of problems... turned feet, still borns, uterine inertia, mummies.... Good luck. Shelby [url]http://www.promiselandranch.net/[/url] [/QUOTE]
