We've had some downers over the years... Usually you just roll them around. make sure they have good footing, etc and when they're ready to get up, they get up. Most times they're best just left alone... At the same time........ I've often wondered what some of these critics think you're supposed to do with a down cow?

That seems to offend a lot of people... but I've yet to hear an answer as to what one ~should~ do in those situations... just criticism about what they're doing wrong. That's how I see it anyway.
