[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1134641, member: 19938"] They sell a hanger that slides into your hitch receiver on either a 4-wheeler or your truck. Valley Vet Supply has one that slides into the pocket on the truck bed. If nothing else, you can get some ideas to make one your self. They also carry the sling and scales. :D As far as keeping the cow off of you while you process the calf, you gotta get pretty creative some times! Most of my cattle are pretty easy, though I do not trust any of them 100%. I always try to keep the calf between the mamma and I. Sometimes she has her nose on it the whole time. Sometimes you can keep them busy with a bucket of grain. Sometimes you get the opportunity to pull the calf under the fence. It definitely helps to have 2 people that the cow is used too, but that isn't always possible. If you can get them to a corral and separate, your always better off. But that is a rare case for most.
