[QUOTE="M Thomason, post: 1343463, member: 19992"] Found a heifer on her side/back in a ditch with a dead calf still partially stuck by the hind legs. Got the calf pulled out but heifer couldn't get up. I hooked a strap round heifers neck and front feet and pulled her down the ditch to level ground but she won't get up. I went to the Vets and got 2 shots for swelling and she let me borrow a pelvic lift that I've been using 3 times a day for 6 days now but she still cant get up. I lift her with the loader for 5 to 10 minutes at a time but its starting to rub her hair off below her hip bones. I don't want to make a sore place. Has anyone ever used one of these lifting devices before. The cow is still aways from the barn in the edge of the woods. I've been checking her 5 times a day to make sure she has water and feed and shade. Its been near 100° every day with no relief in sight [url=https://postimg.org/image/jb8ym8n8n/][img]https://s31.postimg.org/jb8ym8n8n/image.jpg[/img][/url] [/QUOTE]
