[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 810407, member: 5917"] We have always pulled downward as the cow pushes. Now the chains have that open link at the end and you slide the chain through it making a loop. Now I put those around my wrists because if you are alone, they are there and you're not trying to find them and get them ready. I put the chains above the hoof and dew claws on the leg. Now some guys have been getting the nylon straps. Hook the handles onto the chains and put some traction on it. Pull as the cow pushes. Now if it is easy all you need to do is get the head and shoulders out and the rest of the calf will just come out. We have had them hip lock and we give the calf a 1/4 turn and for us that gets the rest of the calf out, but had a cow years ago have the calf get hip locked and go nuts and she ended up killing the calf. That was once since the 1940's. We have the rachet type of puller. Hubby worked on a place with the cable puller and he didn't like it as much. Remember Dan the only stupid question is the one not asked. [/QUOTE]
