[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1724159, member: 16453"] I get them in to a small 2 acre paddock to calve which is adjacent to the yards and once the cow has dealt with the afterbirth I get them up to the yards and run them through the weigh box. I have a set of bathroom scales and a bit of ply that I use occaisionally but I eyeball the calf first and if it looks to be in the 30 something kilos I might try and do it in the paddock but 40 kg would be my absolute upper limit these days. I can lift them OK but gripping onto them is tough on me. Ken [/QUOTE]
