[QUOTE="CowCop, post: 388629, member: 1049"] That is EXACTLY what I said to my boss. We hapened to have found an "extra " calf in the field, and I wanted to graft it to the black heifers mom. Then I saw the will to live in that black broken legged heifer, and I knew she needed a chance. If my tighter than nails Scottish boss was gonna dish out the mooolah to have it done, what the heck. Cost: $100 for surgery $100 for the supplies Seeing that calf running 4 hours after surgery ~~~ Priceless It cost $2,000 to take a front leg off the hound here. I deal with facts and I also agree that this calf won't make it around long. The remaining rear leg is unable to support the increasing weight of the calf for any length of time. She spent almost 2 weeks in a stall, so has no muscle tone ( yet ) in the intact leg. She runs in short spurts and then falls over and lays down. [/QUOTE]
