[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 1724407, member: 9933"] We use a digital scale and a sling. It is done out in the pasture, wherever they're born, so we manually lift and hold. We put a rod, long enough for us both to grasp, through the top of the scale and my husband and I lift together. That way we are usually lifting less than 50 pounds each. It is my job to read the weight once the feet are off the ground. Often I must change position for a better angle to read the scale. That may put more weight on him, and can earn me some negative comments on my speed, with the big calves. [/QUOTE]
