[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1806574, member: 498"] Have some one lift on the tail. I have done it with a 10-12 year old kid lifting on the tail. If the calf kicks they aren't lifting hard enough. I have cut them from behind and the side. I have a squeeze chute but I don't really squeeze them tight. That will cause the legs to be closer together limiting your access. I have done a lot of them in a wooden chute with a head gate, no squeeze and from behind. I have done a lot with their head tied to a post in the corral. An adult on the tail leaning against them to the corral side. Make sure you have a very sharp knife. Blue Coat would be good but I don't know how good it is as a fly repellent. [/QUOTE]
