A New Mexico calf might provide an example of advances in livestock prosthetic technology. Meadow, a yearling Black Angus calf, sustained major damage to her hind limbs last winter when she lost her back hooves and half of her ears to severe frostbite, the Associated Press reported.

Rancher Nancy Dickenson and her stepdaughter bought the injured calf from her owner and took her to veterinarians and students at Colorado State University. In August, vets amputated part of both hind limbs and fitted Meadow with prosthetics.

Now back at home, Meadow is able to run and graze.

“A few people have asked ‘Is she going to be beef?’ and I said ‘Are you kidding? This is my newest baby,” Dickenson said
