[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1807049, member: 968"] Let me clarify a little on the "hold tail up". You lift the tail up, hold the underside of the tail close to the base, and apply pressure forward. By applying pressure forward, it immobilizes their legs. For calves, I generally get in the chute with the calf. Stand on its left side, grab the tail with left hand and apply forward pressure with the right hand (base of tail will be straight up). They will jump around occasionally, so watch YOUR feet. But, they can't LIFT their feet. [/QUOTE]
