I worked with a vet for several calving seasons pulling calves ect. You will find the vet can do little more than you have done. I would suggest you use a splint made of lumber 1x2's work best.

All of this said, make sure it is a break and not a dislocated joint. Joints can often be repositioned but must be don with in a day or two. The vet would likely be needed to help you.

This is not your fault, you did a good thing by saving the lives of both animals, seems some may have forgotten that. Keep your blood pressure in check. Good luck to you, happy calving.
