[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1655620, member: 498"] So 16 days ago today I was running some of the broken mouth cows I have been buying through the chute. One of them got down in the chute. I have a heck of a time getting the side door open so she was stuck for a while. Finally got her out and she was down on the front end. She ended up in the pen in front of the chute. She would move herself around some. Head always up and alert. She had a good appetite. She would move herself from one side to the other. I fed her hay twice a day and gave her water. Other than that I practiced what Dun referred to as benign neglect. If she had gone downhill at all I would have shot her and drug her out to the bone yard. I had no hope that she would recover. But she was always alert and ate her hay so she didn't get shot. This morning I went out to feed her and she was standing up. She had to have walked about 50 feet from where she was last night. I have hope that she might make it now. [/QUOTE]
