[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 980804, member: 8192"] We have an RAU immobilizer like Stocky - anyone who needs to work stock on their own should invest in one of these little beauties. We don't need to use it for cutting small calves, but its great for cutting or banding half-grown or grown males in the crush (chute). We use a cradle (calf table) to cut all our smaller (and some really way too big!) calves, manned by two people. However, I know people use them on their own by having a post set in the ground at an angle out from the back of the cradle. They catch and throw the calf down and then, using a rope with one end fastened back to the chute behind the cradle, flick a turn around the calf's back leg and then tie it back to the post. My job at branding is always to catch the back leg of the bull calves and hang off the rope - I estimate I wouldve backlegged many thousands of mainly charolais calves over the years, without being kicked once - time I retired while my luck holds!
