How long ago did she have the calf? That info may be helpful in giving you a more clear answer.

she had calf about 6 weeks ago .

A friend of mine had the same problem. Her cow was fine after 6 months and continued to produce excellent calves every year. I guess it depends upon the individual. Just watch her and I'll bet over time, she'll get better.

Do you mean you need to sell them right away???
Anyway, I sure wouldn't breed her back to the same bull she calved to. If she is up & eating well, I would give her time - if she's doing a good job with the calf. She will probably be fine.

Just a thought, maybe she has an infection, walking with her tail up, usually means infection, and although nerve damage is a possibility, I wouldn't rule out some sort of chemical imbalance, they can be wobbly with these kind of defiencies also.
