[QUOTE="RVF, post: 517088, member: 7960"] I use to do the same thing until I was told the following, which I find simpler and safer. Put the rope around one of the front legs, and tie the leg up so it is off the ground (I happen to have a beam I can put the rope over). Once the cow is on 1 front leg and 2 back legs, she can not kick. She may try once, but I have never had a cow try more than once. The real nice thing is that it is easier to put the rope around the front leg than the back. I usually have the leg high enough so the knee is bent. [/QUOTE]
