[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 201463, member: 968"] :D :D I'm stilling chuckling !!! I can relate - must be we're all getting up there - in age. Just be REALLY careful with a calf puller. They have TREMENDOUS pulling power. Go slow. We use a ROPE as a come-along. Tie it to a pole, run it thru the handle/handles and back around the pole. We SIT on the rope (or pull - hubby is still strong enough to pull) and take up slack. This is with cow standing. If she's down, we pull sideways on the rope. Shouldn't say anything cause we still have 3 to go - but -haven't even looked for that rope - or even gloved up once. And that was with us having 3 sets of twins so far. I say "so far" cause I got an old cow really thin - suspect twins - due 28th. [/QUOTE]
