"I'm Still Standing"

Just have Elton John's song going through your mind with this post. 

 On Friday, after securing a working set of hip lifters, and having Mike here to help out, we got our down heifer up. 

 She stood up for about 30 minutes before she started fighting it and the lifters slipped off.  Mike did a nice job keeping her company and telling her it would all be ok. 

 Then Saturday, J and K lifted her again.  She was standing much better so I suggested taking the lifters off while she was standing.  She didn't fight at all and stayed upright. 

 J brought her more hay and we left her in the lot for the night.  The next morning she was still standing.

We turned her out into a lot with grass and she has eaten well, filled back out and walked around.  But this is now day 4 and we haven't seen her lay back down.  Maybe she is trying to make up for being down for 8 days.
