[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 997191, member: 8629"] For the most part we just use a hanging scale and a sling, weigh when we tag right out in the pasture. Once in awhile we get one that's a little growly, but we have a creep pasture that we can sneak the calves in to adjacent to where the cows calve and get it done there. We weigh everything because half are registered and it helps on post-weaning analysis even with the commercials. I used to know a guy that had some really aggressive Limmis. He brought the cows and calves in every night to a bedded shed, fed outside in the morning, let the cows out and shut the door behind them. The youngest ones usually didn't follow mom out, so he could tag and weigh w/o "assistance". Worked for him. [/QUOTE]
