[QUOTE="Z&J Cattle, post: 145832, member: 1876"] I want to thank everyone who responded. The response has been about what I expected (half & half). So, I guess it is just truly personal preference and developing your own opinions and what works for each individual operation. After reading the posts and talking to some different folks, I have decided that knife cutting is the way that I want to go (for now at least). This afternoon I cut my first calf (with experienced supervision of course) and it went very smoothly. I have seen it done several times, just never actually been the one doing the cutting. It was a piece of cake! As someone said before, keeping the momma away is by far the biggest challenge (and definitely the most exciting part of the whole process). This particular momma is a red brangus, so most as you can imagine it was a little tense for a few seconds even with her on the other side of the fence! [/QUOTE]
