[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 628042, member: 2653"] I've got to ring in with everyone else. With a horse, their skin is relatively thin - you can use a small needle, and if your good they don't feel much. Even though, with my horses, I still halter them and have a lead rope attached and tied before I give any injections. With my horses I usually hide the needle from their line of site and slowly insert it in their neck. If they see you walking towards them with a big needle, they may even give trouble. Cattle are completely different. They are thick skinned - hence leather, and you must use a thicker needle to get through. I don't care how tame a cow may seem, when they feel that needle they will not stand still and take it. This is asking to be hurt. I do like thumper though! [/QUOTE]
