[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 421989, member: 6291"] Well if you have 100 calves... and you shove 20 in at a time. One guy take off with wormer down the back... one guy on the right... one guy on the left both sticking... and then the guy who poured drops that and grabs the ear tagger it does not take long. All three of yall go get 20 more. Repeat it and you are done in a couple hours,,, THEN you can get to the good part... BEER DRINK'N at the ranch because the ol lady thinks working cows is an all day affair. :D Now... of you want to casterate... you have to individually take each calf in one at a time and cut with a knife, band, pinch what ever. You are talking about a HUGE time difference OR you have to catch them at birth and I am not one of those people who follow my cows around waiting for them to calf with my cell phone in hand... AND vet on speed dial. Most of the cows don't even bring their calves out of the brush for a couple weeks. Some places I don't even get out to walk amongst the cattle... much less try to grab a calf. :shock: [/QUOTE]
