[QUOTE="skip, post: 368382, member: 82"] Story: Cow had a big calf thursday. Contacted Vet. Cow had paraylsis and cannot get up. Calf died Thursday night. Cow is confined in pasture. Eating and drinking fine. Vet says cow will get up in due time. Neighbors and friends say that after this long she has lost feelings in back legs. She shifts to the other side once in a while and pulls herself around but I can tell she has little strength in back legs. I'm told she needs to be lifted so blood circulation can return to legs. Friend has offered 4" straps to lift. What's the concensus ladies and gentlemen? Do I lift her or give her more time to get up on her own? If the thought is to lift, do you think 4" straps are safe for a 1000 lb. cow. [/QUOTE]
