Central MN | If you induce early make sure you're regularly checking on her so when she starts calving you can be there to assist if need be. I believe there is usually slightly increased dystocia risk with early induction.
Also a bottle of calcium perhaps wouldn't be the worst. Although it would be a weird case in a beef cow and before calving its not completely out of line it could be a more than just a bad leg.
I think if it was my choice and she was not running a fever I would euthanize cut out calf and fill the freezer. If she has a fever I'd go with inducing early, bottle feeding the calf, and trying to get the cow to recover for salvage use. If you have more more info like JDSWMO suggested it would help you make the best decision. | |
