Animals can be so adaptive. We live on a ranch and several months ago two feral dogs got into our calf pen where we were keeping the bottle fed calves and attacked them. It was terrible. One of the calves ended up loosing circulation in it's hind leg. She'd already had a rocky start to life, so we were rather attached to her from nursing her back to health before. We took her to the vet and had the leg amputated. It was the only way to save her life. People thought we were crazy, most would have put her down. To make a long story short, she recuperated wonderfully. She runs faster than she walks. Her little back end looks like a pogo stick because she has to bounce it high enough in the air to give time for her front legs to move. She's precious. She thinks she's a puppy. We haven't decided if we will left her have a calf yet. At first we weren't but she has adjusted so well. If we do we will have her artificially inseminated. We think she could handle birthing, but probably not the weight of a bull.
