[QUOTE="dun, post: 35344, member: 34"] We either trick them into a catch pen with a small amount of grain and sort off whichever ones need to be bred and run them through the chute, or we also have a headlock feed wagon that we use sometimes. If you use the wagon, make sure they are used to being caught in it before you try to breed them in it. The only problem we've had with the wagon is needing to be pretty fast on your feet when you have your arm up there but and they can shift around a couple of steps either left or right. For tagging, we either get a tag in them at birth, sometimes very easy, sometimes pretty hard. If the cow just doesn't want you near the calf and starts out over the hill with the calf on her heels, we've found it's better to just let them go. Inthat case we tag them when we bring them in for spring workup and tag them all and see who sucks who. That can get pretty tricky if you have calves and heifers (cows usually don't do it) that share calves. dun [/QUOTE]
