[QUOTE="bovine, post: 3620800, member: 12486"] Yes to prevent legs sticking out at silly angles (as in this case). Also a proportion have damaged a nerve when calving in their pelvis that makes it hard for them to pull their legs in together. Hobbling prevents them doing the splits. Having the legs attached to each other also helps the cow support her back end when lifting. I would always hobble, and leave them on for a few days until I was happy with her locomotion. [/QUOTE]
