[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 951933, member: 839"] I'll second what hooknline said. I had a deal like that one time, came home and found cow splayed out, husband wasn't home so I called a neighbor to come up and help me----mainly with the straps. If you can get someone to lend you an extra set of hands to maneuver that would be good. My neighbor and I, together, we were able to roll the cow enough to get the straps under her. I laid them (2 of them) out one for the front and one for the hind. We bunched them up as close to under her as we could get, then we had a couple of ropes rigged (tied to her legs by the hooves as best we could) to where we both pulled to get her somewhat rolled, he held the ropes while I finished fishing the straps under to the other side. We let her roll back and we wrapped the straps around the bucket of the tractor and I slowly lifted her up. Most of it I was able to do myself, but for a couple of parts I knew I would need an extra set of hands. Hopefully you have someone available who is willing to help you. It could just be that the calf is "setting" on a nerve. But the cow needs to be up if at all possible. Good luck and keep us posted. If I were in Illinois I'd come on over and lend a hand.
