[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1513749, member: 968"] I don't know about others, but we "tail" our cattle. If you hold their tail straight up & hold the tail putting pressure at the base of the tail pushing toward their spine/head - they cannot lift their hind legs. They can still jump around, but they soon stop because they really can't feel their legs. We do it when we clip teats on heifers or band or cut castrate bulls. I tail. I stand inside the chute on the side of the animal - using two hands, one at the middle of the tail to stabilize it/hold it down near their sping & one at the base pushing hard. Nephew kneels down behind. Knock on wood, he has NEVER been kicked ---- or hubby in previous years. [/QUOTE]
