While I am sorry for the calf, K.C. you made me laugh. You are done with calving ? So, you even do that for the cows , that's downright amazing!
I once had to have a pony put down with a broken leg, since it wouldn't stay off it. What are the chances for the calf?

In the past I had to have a real good horse put down because he would stand on the cast and twist just to break the cast. The calf has 99% coming out ok, and If I got the splint right this fall you wont be able to tell he ever had it broke
