[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1115079, member: 22072"] I hate the hip lifts too... Is there any better way? Sometimes i think they do more damage and most cows fight it. We had a cow once down for over 2 weeks. It was back in the day before i got into daily cow business (we have 4 kids that kept me busy).. It was spring and the rye grass was almost knee deep. She was almost totally paralyzed in both back legs but i remember she had movement in one, but not much. She would pull herself around with her front legs to eat grass. My husband would follow her trail each day to give her water. One day he went out and she was standing. We've had some since that werent as bad off as her and never even tried getting up and were finally put down. We usually have one every other year due to calving and its hit or miss whether they ever stand again. Back when we were mostly Sim, we had more than one a year. [/QUOTE]
