How do you make a fallen cow stand?
An interesting fact about cattle is unlike other four legged animals, they must stand on their back legs first and then get up on their front. If a cows attempts to stand by rocking back and forth or gets the hind legs up just a little, you can assist the cow in standing. Once the cows starts to lift her rear, you can grab hold of the very end of her tail and lift up. Thus assisting her to stand on the rear legs. You want to continue to hold the tail until she stands on her front legs. After she is standing, she will make a few steps. If she is unsteady or weak holding the tail, you can help her from going back down by lifting up.
