[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 598642, member: 968"] We calve everything in pens. Cows are REMOVED prior to handling the calf. Even the absolute sweethearts are removed. I always thought the hayfeeder ring was a great idea for out in the pasture. Haven't used one, but I agree that it would have to be a newborn. We move our bale rings with the spear of the tractor, but I wouldn't want to be chasing one!! I occasionally have a slip up, and have one born outside. I usually get a roll of polywire & tie it off & use it to push mom so calf is on one side & dam is on other. Than I can safely handle the calf. (well, sort of safely - I do keep a close eye on her because I don't usually have the fence hot!) [/QUOTE]
