When checking our pastures, which we do each morn., we found #6 laying down on her belly with her two back feet straight out, we finally got her to sit upright, but an hour later was back to the original position, we didn't have a bull in there, so have no idea what happened. She would crawl on her belly for a ways, , but could not get herself up.....Got some steroids from the vet, and for three days gave her a shot ,and turned her to sitting position, however, she could not get up. So we had to put her down, could she have slipped and broke her back, or could another cow have jumped her, causing this? She was a 8 year old cow, and raised nice big calves, we have never had this happened and are sick to have had to put her down,, but we just didn't feel she would ever get better?
