[QUOTE="Vicky the vet, post: 386929, member: 1026"] Ok, there are two ways of doing it. For me, I grab the spine at the withers behind the shoulder blades, and squeeze really hard. Normal animals will sink, might even drop to the ground, but no grunt. Hardware animals either won't drop, or will drop a bit and grunt. Another way is to raise a plank at the reticular area of the belly and see if they grunt while pinching--I personally don't find it effective. It should be super easy to do on a calf. I've pinched and diagnosed animals over 2000 lbs, and I'm just over 5'1"..... V [/QUOTE]
