[QUOTE="jkwilson, post: 87368, member: 969"] We put up two tie rings, one high and one low. Put a piece of wire that will straighten out with a hard pull into the top ring formed in a hook. Tie the halter lead to the bottom ring and through the hook on the top ring. If the animal falls, the top ring will release, giving them enough slack to get up. You will have to determine what to use for the hook. The guy who showed me used baling twine, but I was concerned that it might not break or that the sudden snap when it did would injure the calf. Of course, you won't want to do this with an animal that pulls, and you still can't leave them totally unattended, but it makes me more comfortable doing things where we can't see them while they are tied. An added bonus is that the rope can be slipped out of the hook leaving plenty of slack to untie. Some animals will probably learn they can straighten the wire and lay down, but we've done it for three sets of calves and not had a problem yet. [/QUOTE]
