[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 206864, member: 539"] Plash, there is an easier way. Trot down to your local coop or TSC, anyplace (except the vet - as he will undoubtedly cost more) that carries cattle supplies, and buy you a calf balling gun. It will look like a giant pair of scissors (at least, that what our's look like) with bent blades about 3/4 of the way down the blades. At the end of each blade will be a cupped out area. Stick one or both (both should fit) aspirin in the cupped out area, close the blades and hold them closed. Back the calf into the corner, spraddle one leg in front of her chest, one leg behind her butt and hold her there. Grab the calf under the jaw on the off side, raise her nose up until her nose is extended and pointed up. With the angled part of the blades pointing at the calf, insert the baller into the side of the calf's mouth, rotate it so the blades are pointed down her throat, gently stick it down her throat with the blades following the contours of her throat, until the handles are flush with her mouth or thereabouts. Open the blades and the aspirin will be deposited in her stomach. [/QUOTE]
