Had a 1st calf heifer that had a monster Angus bull calf in the middle of the night. Long story short, when I was pulling with the mechanical calf puller, one leg chain broke and when it did, it put all the pulling pressure on the other leg of the calf and broke/dislocated the leg at the "wrist" joint. I heard the bone pop when the chain broke on the other side. I ended up saving both the heifer and the calf, but am not sure what the best thing to do for the calf is. I put three paint sticks around the bad joint and wrapped it tight with duct tape. This morning, with my help, I got the calf standing and he nursed from the mother pretty good. He can stand ok if I stand him up. I don't really want to pay a high vet bill, and the closest one is 50 miles from me, but if there is something that they can do for it that I can't, then I'm willing to do that. Just thought I'd check for opinions here first. Thanks
