Put some makeshift hobble on this morning and they worked great. Gonna leave them on a while and keep watching her

She still will kick up to block it when they are in the pen. Still having to put her in the squeeze chute but not restraining head and she stands and lets the calf suck with no problems, even turns her head to watch it the whole time. I dont think she is giving much milk now as the calf still...
