[QUOTE="Jessica06, post: 1291901, member: 5612"] You could have a short piece of rope tied to the side of the chute to tie her tail with. Just don't forget to untie it before you let her out! When I have one being difficult and throwing lots of rings, I just thread through them until I can get at least half of my arm in, then pull back and find the cervix. Rings usually come in waves, so if you get past a batch of them you usually have a little time to work. Set a timer if you need to. I probably should have when I was just starting. 30 minutes can go by before you know it. Of course, some cows are going to be snotty about it every time...they just better be worth the trouble! We commercialled one of our registered cows a few days ago when we were setting them up. She would start swimming and going sideways the second she got in the chute...just got tired of messing with her. How we got 2 AI calves out of her, I have no idea. [/QUOTE]
