[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 452342, member: 539"] Ok, so you keep your calving cattle closer to home, drive a few steel posts/set a few wooden posts, and set up a temporary pen - complete with a workable chute! All it takes to administer a shot is a small area that the critter can be confined in - it does not require a headgate. As far as supplies - get a Playmate cooler and stock it with whatever you think may be needed BEFORE you leave. Our's has a sharp pocket knife for castrating, 2 automatic syringes for multiple doses when working the entire herd, several disposable syringes of varying sizes, enough needles of different guages to work a herd of 100, a small bottle of water for rinsing the automatic syringes after use, and whatever medications we choose to put in it. It's not brain surgery. As far as a secure place to secure stuff - try a crossbed toolbox in the back of your pickup that can be locked if that is the type of area you live in.
