[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1211473, member: 19938"] Cattle most definitely have their size and weight against them, when it comes to healing structures in the legs. As with a cow that I had injured a while back, I did a long course of aspirin boluses to decrease inflammation and kept her penned up for a month or so. She eventually recovered. But she did stay laying down a lot. Only up to eat and drink. I would venture to say, that a bull would easily re-injure themselves with mounting activity if they are confirmation-ally at risk. ie. straight in the back legs ect. After speaking with the vet, you will have to weigh that risk. Let us know what your vet says...... [/QUOTE]
