[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1803967, member: 25884"] Yes they can get up and down. Many dairy cows that calve and then "split" on the concrete get hobbles and they will leave them on for weeks if necessary so they don't split again. Often new heifers that panic on the concrete in the parlor, and some older cows that have problems, or even some milk fever ones, will be weak and their legs will do a split and so the farmers will often hobble them, and then get them in a pen or lot that is dirt so they don't slide on the concrete until they get their muscles/ligs/tendons stronger. I know a couple places that their cows will have hobbles for a few months.... and one has a cow that is a WITCH in the parlor ans she has a permanent set of hobbles.... I'd sell her but she is one of the highest producers and I get it from his view point.... [/QUOTE]
