what I use to lift a hurt calf

[myersfarm]

this calf got kicked a few years ago hurt in the front left foot....would not get up would not put weight on foot.....so i did this....the cage keeps the calf from running away as soon as it gets on all fours...this one would do that then fall over.....it is easy to carry anywere you need it hope it gives you ideas....the cage came off one of those 275 gallon totes that was busted...i got it free

That is a great idea. Thanks for sharing the pic.

Did your calf recover from its injury?

[myersfarm]

yes no problem sold her as a 400 pounder

Did you lower her down at night?

[myersfarm]

yes and time I left for more than a hour I let her down....I feel it works because they get the idea .........it does not hurt that much to stand on it

[cathleenc]

Thanks, I was trying to understand how it all worked and kept scratching my head.....

maybe this will help after lifting it 2 days a few hours each day this is what i got plus look how i layed the craet over to get the calf out still standing........and if he falls over i just set crate back over a lift again

Great idea! I have one of those crates because I KNOW i will need it someday!
