You should consult with a vet that knows cattle. If you can't, then give her a couple of days. It sounds like an injury to the nerves. Make sure she has food and water and is passing solids and liquids. Encourage her to stand up, if possible. If you can't get her to stand up, get her to roll over to her other side a couple of times a day. We had a cow in the 70's that had nerve damage from a prolonged calving. Took her weeks to walk, and never walked right again. She would occasionally sway and one rear leg would catch the other as it swung forward. This would cause her to stumble and almost fall, but she would recover. You should also look long and hard at your bull. If this bull can throw calves this big, keep him away from heifers. hope this helps. John
