Rarely a week goes by that the Custom Livestock Solutions phone isn’t ringing with calls for a vet to please come out and see downed cows, bulls, or calves. Because bovines can go down for a number of reasons, and the longer cattle are down, the more detrimental a case can become, the CLS team considers these emergency cases.
Part of keeping show cattle in tip-top shape includes making sure they’re moving fluidly, without pain or stiffness. Though medications to address this exist, some show barns are turning to a less conventional method of show calf maintenance — veterinary spinal manipulation, commonly referred to in human medicine as chiropractics.
