[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 459187, member: 968"] We castrate calves at that weight all the time. (cutting) As mentioned, just put them in your chute (I don't have a squeeze chute either), and have someone tail them. And the other poster said pull tail toward head, actually, you want to lift the tail up & put pressure at the bottom base of the tail towards the head - lots of pressure! This "paralizes" their legs so they can't kick. I tail them while my hubby cuts. [/QUOTE]
