[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1447372, member: 24027"] I generally just come up behind a newborn calf when it's laying down, gently sit/straddle, tag, pop in a bolus and if it's a bull & hubby is able to help it gets banded with a shot of Covexin 8. It also allows me to get a rudimentary temp when I stick my finger in their mouth (are they too cold/hot and do I need to move them to the barn?). I follow up with a scratch under their neck and quite often a little kiss (cuz they're so dang cute!). Very little stress to the calf - I don't tackle them to the ground (don't think I could anyway).
