[QUOTE="buckshotbob, post: 1573255, member: 38253"] I got a phone call last sunday a 9 pm by my older neighbour. Jack has pulled 12 calves so far this spring/ too much grain .He had just finished pulling a heifer when a new mom started showing feet and a tongue. He asked if I was up to help so down the road I go with my new vink puller. 15 minutes of pulling and out pops a 125 pound heifer calf out of his geilbveih heifer .I honestly thought I was going to split his cow wide open I had so much pressure on the puller. Called him the next day from work said the one he pulled had been adopted by the new mom and both heifers where doing great. 40 pounds different between the two but both alive. Was a good save as he has lost 7 calves ,two cows and a really nice heifer already this year.Jack runs 40 head and is retired so each loss he takes personal. His kitchen has more calves in it then people during cold springs. [/QUOTE]
