[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 827892, member: 1974"] Short hijack...Nesikep, when we're pulling a calf that hiplocks we release the chains and let the calf have a breather. A calf can't breathe well with its front legs pulled tight with the puller. Releasing the chains also lets us give the calf a quarter rotation, and quite often that's enough for him to slip on out. Back to hanging upside down, we also use a bale of hay to hang the calf over to clear it's lungs. [/QUOTE]
