[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1828536, member: 968"] I understand what you are asking/needing. I've seen those calf catchers and they do look handy. Another option I have seen is take a round bale feeder on the front end of a tractor and set it down over the calf. Cow can't get to you and calf can't get away. But, like many said, you need to do it as soon as possible after birth or you won't catch the calf!! LOL Most all my cows calve in pens in the barn, so calf is processed shortly after birth. Generally, put cow OUT of the pen to process calf. So, I'm not much help on processing them out in the open. [/QUOTE]
