[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 85370, member: 245"] If you've gotta pay to get the feet trimmed, it definitely isn't worth it. I bought a group of cows about five years ago and some had bad feet. They were sight unseen all the way from Alberta and they were Highlands which are known for having foot problems. My brother and I cast them in the corral and trimmed them. Obviously, you don't keep replacements off cows like that. To answer your next question. The way you cast a cow is you halter her up to a post then you slip a lasso around her neck and run the rop ealong her back, go behind the front legs make another loop, run the rope along her back, make another loop around her in front of her back legs and bring the rope out on top again. Then pull and down she'll go. If the cow is quiet enough, you want even need to halter her to the post. I did that to a few cows when I moved to the new farm before I had a corral and headgate, works good. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
