[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11566"] Purchase a slapshot. It is a piece of poly tubing that is about 18 to 24 inches long and goes between the syringe and the needle. This allows a lot of movement on the needle end and you can hold the syringe nearly stationary. The chances of breaking a needle are almost nill. You will have to allow for 2 to 3 cc's of vaccine or medication in the hose of the slapshot. I have even used it without restraining the animal and just using a gate as already mentioned. And I have roped quite a few also. You can't have a headgate available every time a critter gets sick unless you have half a day to waste rounding one up from the pastures. It is also handy around a squeeze chute when doing large numbers of animals. They reuce the chances of breaking barrels and bending needles. My preference is the type that has plain ends and does not have the palm area that hog growers seem to prefer. [email=rrobins@linzmfg.com]rrobins@linzmfg.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
