Guest IB Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Agree Andy, sounds like they've both hit an HT Overhead Cable Line, breaking or injuring legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delboy Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Ive had a total of 6 ybs hurt legs with wires this year. One I had to put down as its leg was hanging with a thread. Theres a lot to be said about tossing in 2s or 4s. Put them in a box full of shavings, they ll mend ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
