Subject: RE: Fall calving heifer had problems



Croswell, Michigan
I had two steers go down on wet cement one time. I used two 3" ratchet straps, got them underneith them, one in front and one in back. Picked them up with the loader tractor and moved them into a machine shed with a dry dirt floor. Set them down slowly and let them get some weight on their legs. They wanted to stand up. Once they were on their own we let the loader down and got the straps off. They walked funny for a while but came out of it. I wouldn't let her stay down any longer, time works against you in these situations.
