[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1577587, member: 37967"] People think that the bull climbs up on top and puts their entire weight on a cow. There is not a bull alive that my cows could not handle, plain and simple. I understand that younger females and grandmas could be susceptible to an injury if they are not conditioned to handle a massive bull, but most do not have issues. I would almost bet that your animal's injury came from a misplaced step on the terrain. I could be wrong. Here is the 12-year-old cow I mentioned with a very bad stifle injury. We hand fed her for a LONG time during her pregnancy in order to save the SAV Harvestor daughter that she had inside her. We placed straw every night for her in the field, brought water, hay, and grain, EVERY SINGLE DAY for more than 50 days. I thought it would be a miracle if she recovered. She barely walked 20 steps a day. Then right on time, she gave birth to her calf, got up and nursed her. The calf in the video with the tag is from another dam, but she loved Grandma and stuck on her like glue. http://bit.ly/2LAgnEz Now after seeing that video above, fast forward a year and look how the effort paid off. This has become one of our top daughters in the making, a tank of a heifer. You get out what you put into cattle, it's not rocket science. They know when you care about them. http://bit.ly/2Vi4kj2 [/QUOTE]
