[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 469475, member: 6198"] here is an easy trick...works well for milking and cutting weaned calves...vet did the weaned calf secure the cow in the mat pen, chute or halter to a post and pannels we use to cut a rung out of a pannel for milking and made the rung able to hook back in when not in the milking postition So here is the big trick...works real well. take the tail and through it over the back in a large "C". If you have to use on hand at the base of the tail to hold it up right and the other hand to through over the back. Careful not to tight so as to not damage the spine. When the tail is like that they can not kick...seen some real kickers unable to kick because of this simple trick. and last have on hand a bag of the powder colostrum. Get from the vet a bag of green and a bag of red (colors of the bag). One bag has more immuglobulins than the other. The one with the most is for a calf who does not get colostrum and the other is if a calf gets some but not enough A calf must have some colostrum with in the first 2 hours perferably 6 if there are problems. The second suck should occur by the 6-12 hour. Real important. One of the reasons we have one bag of each on hand...just in case Dairies are good to but... their colostrum is lighter so it takes more pounds of milk to make up the same amount if immuglobblins, as well the worry of disease transfer of something like johnese(SP) from dairy milk. The bags of powder are tested for disease, dried dairy colostrum [/QUOTE]
