[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 401226, member: 539"] Unless it was the occasional late calving cow, castration was done enmasse at branding. 2 alleys, side by side, calves were sorted into the east alley, cows passed through the west alley and back into the corral. The east alley feeds into the sweep tub which has 2 exits, one feeds to the main chute, the other to the portable calf table. If we opted to not use the calf table, the calves could be caught, dragged out to a 2nd corral and wrestled. For the late calvers, east alley has a gate in the middle - mom on one side, baby on other side. I'm with LAX - I will not work a calf (for any reason) with mom in the same pen - I don't care how gentle she is! All it takes is one bawl, and you've usually got the whole herd breathing down your neck. [/QUOTE]
