[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1761061, member: 24027"] Nobody wants to rope one of their calves (or cows) just for fun. And it's potentially dangerous for you and the calf without a chute - but you do whatcha gotta do. I have a portable corral & chute. In addition to 2 other permanent corrals with chutes. Logistics don't always work in your favor! And it takes hours for me to take it apart, unhook the chute, hook it up, move to said location, set it up, go back to get the chute, etc. And he!!, by that time, the sick calf has quite possibly moved. Pick your battles. And yes, I have extremely docile cattle, but they're prey animals (instinct!) and when they don't feel well, even your fave may not cooperate and follow you a mile to the nearest corral/catch pen/whatever. I have considered a dart gun but treating in the pasture is relatively rare and not sure the investment is warranted. [/QUOTE]
