[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 211286, member: 839"] Is the cow allowing the calf to nurse? If so, leave them be for a day or so, then try again. Besides, the milk won't be ready for human drinking for about 5 or more days anyhow. At that time, have you got a headgate/headcatch? Or an area where you can "squeeze" the cow between 2 gates with a barrier in front then put a barrier behind? If so, lock her up in this arrangement and get one leg tied. If she's kicking, she can only kick with one leg at a time (unless she's bucking). You'll need a second person for this. Whichever leg is not doing the kicking is the leg that gets tied, thus the reason for being able to "squeeze" her between 2 gates. Just an idea. Perhaps others will chime in with more useful info. Good luck and keep us posted. Katherine [/QUOTE]
