[QUOTE="Colorado2008, post: 597824, member: 4094"] [b][color=#FF8000]Here's what I do, I'll try to explain the best I can. When we first start tieing the calves up for the first week or two we do not tie their heads up. We tie thier heads so the top of their neck is parallel to the ground. This leaves them room to move just in case they get spooked and they don't feel so "confined". When we tie them, we run the lead under the closest bar and then tie it up a few bars higher. We do this because if they try to jump forward or up, they cannot get their legs caught in the fence and if we absolutly need to uuntie we can get to the lead without getting hurt. Once they stand there with us brushing and scratching with the stick then we move their heads up a little higher. I hope this helps. If you need anything clarified or any more info just let me know.[/color][/b] [/QUOTE]
