[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1796516, member: 39373"] I still remember the first one I really pulled. It was HOT. June or July. Bought bred heifer. Not a terrible large calf. What I call normal sized. Poor Texas was plumb exhausted! I got to her and had my trusty ratchet strap. Made a loop in the end and wrapped around the feet. Started pulling. Of coarse she got up and walked thru the pond with me in tow! I could've just as easily let go. She stopped in the middle somewhere and gave a push. Got the head out that time. Then off we went again! She finally decided to lay down again and we got her finished up. Not a hard pull. Just hotter n hades outside. Shes done well ever since.... Successful pulling sure makes ya feel good! We've all pulled a dead one I'm sure. Edited to add... I know how ya feel about a 105lb calf. I got the story on the 105lb hereford heifer I just acquired. It was a hard pull on an old mama. Mama died 3 days later. 105lbs at 3 days old. Not normal sized for me! Edited again... Ya gonna keep Sparky?? [/QUOTE]
