[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1744119, member: 12520"] Well, once I got her to the barn she did spend several days with her calf in a small pen and seem to be mended before I sent her on the longer walk to the feed ground. That’s what was so peculiar to me about this deal. With regards to pulling, I always start turning the calf as soon as the head is clear. Although in this instance I guess this didn’t happen as I pulled it by hand and didn’t have time to adjust things between the time I tied the calf off to my bike and the cow attempting to stand up. But I think the cow had a pinched nerve before I got to her, and that is why I was able to get close enough to help. When I first approached her she tried to get up but couldn’t. In hindsight she floundered much like she still does today. I guess the next few days might tell the tale. I went to feed and water her this afternoon and she was up, and when she saw me she started to bugger off so I just left her rather than cause a commotion. If she comes back to where she was there is still feed and there is a little snow in the bush if she’s thirsty… I’ll reassess in the AM. [/QUOTE]
