[QUOTE="R&SGilles, post: 748174, member: 8203"] To reply to tamarack: that is how my husband's father used to pull calves. We have a rachet style calf puller that pulls one leg and then the other plus a hip hugger. The hip hugger is a device that has two large heavy duty rings, attached in the middle. Each ring fits over a hip bone and the device is then screwed down tight as you can. It is then hung from a come-a-long above the cow (who is oviously in a chute or stanchion) If she takes the weight off her back legs the hip huggers hold her up. But I'm thinking maybe it is better just to let her be in a pen and lay down? Comments? I mean besides getting rid of the bull that caused this!! HaHa [/QUOTE]
