[QUOTE="dun, post: 507519, member: 34"] We run them in the chute, grope around and figure out what the problems is and put the chains on the calf and a halter on the cow. Tie off the lead rope t6o the front of the chute with enough slack that the cow can exit the chute. Then we pull as needed. If I should need a calf jack, haven;t in a long time other then a 100plus pound heifer calf out of a 1000 lb heifer, I just call the vet. He's a neighbor and has pulled more cows in a season then most of us together will in a lifetime. That was the only time we've used a jack on our cows/heifers since I can remember. Bought the heifer bred to a bull different then they thought she was bred to. Long story, but after the semen has been deposited it's a little late to be checking to make sure you have the right bull. [/QUOTE]
