[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 742389, member: 3162"] Most of the time you are not lifting the whole cow. They'll do a lot of it on their own they just don't have the strength to do it [b]all.[/b] You need something strong enough to support their whole weight and the lifting gurney will distribute things out. Plus if they wobble you'll be able to add some balance. It is always best to put a clamp in their nose just in case they go nuts. You don't have to pull the nose clamp but rather just snub them, just in case. The hardest part of everything for me is getting the gurney underneath and positioned. [/QUOTE]
