[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 825233, member: 3162"] I band and tag at birth most of the time. Let the calf get a belly full of milk and get laid down. Momma will slip off to the tank maybe. Get in and get out quick. Some cows never get far from that calf. Some do. Once that calf is a few days old it's going to have to be thrown and held if you miss it. I generally wait until pasture rotation and cut the calf out of the alley if that's the case. Calves getting colostrums means something is seriously wrong with momma. That's a completely different situation. He/she is coming all the way to the house 23 miles away. Tie the feet and into the floor board of the truck. Rarely happens but it does. [/QUOTE]
