[QUOTE="ENNOT, post: 342062, member: 3562"] It has a hook on the end of it so you can catch one of the hind legs of the calf to get ahold of it. They are somewahat handy. We don't have one but I have used them at other places. Theyre real good at making the calf bawl and have the cow come back. On the ones that are grouchy at birth, like all the 50 cows we just bought this fall, we just drive up close to them and I grab the calf and bring it up on the flatbed. Of course we catch them in the first 24 hrs after birth so the calves can't get going to fast. There are several ways to catch the calf, just make sure of your safety. I went and tagged a calf the other day out of what I thought was one of the gentlest cows we have, this was her 4th. She was sniffing me and then all the sudden rolled me. You never can tell how they will react, so be careful. [/QUOTE]
