[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 507631, member: 5917"] We normally try to get the cow in the barn. There we have a head catch in a pen. [img]http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z79/Elimrvfc/Uppercorralsbarnandheifers021.jpg[/img] The wood gate in front of the catch swings backwards. The metal gate works like a sqeeze. There is a wooden gate not shown to the right with a logging chain bolted to it. The chain hooks to the metal gate. Now if we are concerned that the cow will go down we will leave the head catch shut and just squeeze her in there. There is another pen behind this one with gate that swings open to give you room to work. Especially if it is a breech birth. We just use OB chains and handles with a straight forward birth, but pull out the calf puller for the breech. [/QUOTE]
