[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10538"] if you have a squeeze chute it is just as easy to castrate a 400# calf as it is to do a 100 # calf.. the way we do it is.. squeeze them in the chute, someone holds their tail and the other reaches in behind them and cuts... and for the sake of being misunderstood.. we DO NOT get in the chute with them to reach behind them. we let the sides of the chute down and reach in. we are up close and above the calf so if he does kick he doesnt kick us.. if he kicks anything it is the side of the chute. just my 2 cents gene > "with a knife, at about 300 > to 350lbs" > Another way to spell that is > H-A-R-D W-O-R-K. > TD, I also grew up using the rope > and the knife, and for some reason > we worked them bigger then too. > It's faster if you're set up for > it and have plenty of help, but > banding sure is easier on all > concerned parties :-) > Craig [email=genemax@rabofla.net]genemax@rabofla.net[/email] [/QUOTE]
