[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1829823, member: 42463"] You make some good points... I always tagged and banded as soon as possible. But I never did it with a cow over my shoulder. Not that I never had a cow close with a fresh calf being handled, but just that I never felt it was necessary to tempt fate if I didn't have to. Most of my close work was chilled calves that I needed to get into the kitchen to save their lives. I always made sure I had holding facilities available, and I always trained my cows to come to a bucket. I'd go find calves and mark/remember their locations, and then I'd call their mothers into the corral and close the gate. Then I'd go out and take care of the calves. Banding, vaccinations, ear tags. Turn momma out and she'd go find her calf and it was a done deal. No sweat... [/QUOTE]
