No hip lifters. We use a wide belt to lift with if needed. We also sling we can put her in but, anytime we have had to resort to the sling the cow doesn't make it.

I thought hip lifters were those black and orange things that we put on their rumps.

Oh yeah, we bought a set didn't we? We use them so seldom I forgot!

 

[Kute Kitten]

Yeah, we have a pair.

we had to borrow a set here awhile back to lift an old cow.

Busy day today.

Had fun with a Red Angus X heifer calf that had a busted leg. She just needed her leg recasted again, but the best part was to put her down on the ground. I almost had my feet stepped on a number of times but was nimble enough to keep my toes out of the way. If you would've seen her you would've said "Awwww, she's cute!!"

And the usual today: dogs and cats to be spayed/neutered, cleaning, things like that.

We finally got rain last night!! It's sure a lot greener here now than it was in the last few weeks.

 

[Kute Kitten]

Rain rules.

 

[Farmer Kitty]

Glad you finally got some rain! It should help with the fire danger!

Calves love feet!
