[QUOTE="dun, post: 150119, member: 34"] If you don;t have a "kicker" i.e. anti-ckick device, the simplist way I've used is to bass a rope kind of like a lariat but soft only1/4-3/8 inch in diameter under the belly and over the back just in front of the uddder. Pull it as tight as you can and tie it to itself. While not impossible it makes it really hard for them to kick and they can;t kick very hard. I had to use it on one heifer that was out in the pasture and kept pushing her calf away cause her udder was so swollen when she calved. I tied her to a tree and attempted to strip some milk to relieve the pressure. She kicked the crap out of me. Put the rope around her, stripped a little to get the teats working and let the calf have at her. Took the rope off after 10 minutes and never had another problem. Back before they had the fancy kickers that all of the dairys use now, that was what was used. dun [/QUOTE]
