[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 610488, member: 2653"] Wolf lady, This is something that your going to need help with. If you have a squeeze chute, or some other really good way to restrain the calf - you may be able to get it done yourself. A 4 & 1/2 month old bull calf is NOT going to stand still while you cut his jewels off, even if you have someone holding the tail. I never liked the thought of the "tail holder" loosing his/her grip and the calf take off running. With big calves we run them into the squeeze chute, close it down, and tie both back legs so that they are seperated. Then you can remove said jewels. Also a perfect time to give a tetanus shot. If you think he was pushy/mean just out in the pasture, wait until you grab a hold of his stuff. Just have everything you'll need prepared, because once you start there ain't not going back. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
