[QUOTE="wr., post: 6833616, member: 5835"] My longest cow down was 28 days and she started getting up on her own during the night which we caught on the calving camera. We were lifting her twice daily with a proper sling. The haunch lifters are good for a couple of times but are hard on the hips for any more than that. If the weather is good, she'll be better off in a level field where her feet won't slip. Failing that, keep her in a shed where there is a firm bed of muck and straw. Calcium seems to give them a boost of "get up and go." [/QUOTE]
