Sad to say we lost her the next morning. We went down with more feed, water and hay, and she was on her last legs. She wouldn't even try to drink or eat. Her back legs had swollen terribly, and honestly, she'd lost her will. Last year we had a big ole cow, we call her "Horny," no, no, that's not why, but because she has a large set of horns. She was "bulling" and got up on this one's back, and she just crumpled and that hurt her hip at that point. She got over it to an extent, but always kinda "favored it" after that. Anyway, I believe she must have caused considerable more damage by being trapped, and twisting and turning trying to free herself?? I don't know. Thanks again for your participation! You're quite "a rounder" yourself, it seems! D&D Hey, Miss Sandra!

We used to pull them out with horses. There is hope yet for the old girl. I have seen a cow down for 2-3 months and never could understand why the men just didn't put them down. After all my tears and angst, petting and hand feeding , one day they would just get up. Amazing. Persevere D&B, it could happen yet. Garden. I am jealous, everybody is jealous. Me thinks you have a subscription to Mother Earth news. Great articles on gardening, self sufficiency and living off the grid. This time next year D&B will be showing us how to twist plant fibers to make our own clothes. You go guys. Somebody has to take us by the hand and show us how to wean ourselves from the dependency on this culture. Great Job guys. May I recommend an excellent blog site to read when you the going get's tough. "Sawdust and Cowpies." Absolutly hilarious. Give him a visit. Have a blessed day.
