[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1261998, member: 17956"] Nice video. Even though I am from Ky, I have worked many calves by dragging them to the doctoring spot, as we call it. IMHO, as long as your talking about small calves 3-5 months old. As long as you get 2 feet, I think they are less likely to be injured, than they are in a chute. Many will probably disagree, and that's fine, because they may be right. It's been my experience that many get knocked, bumped , and stepped on in a tradition working pen. It's also 1000 times easier to castrate on the ground for me. If I ever get a calf table, I will probably change my opinion. I also agree, that the day is probably here now for the industry to quit giving out sticks for the customer to beat us with. I did plenty of things today, that another farmer wouldn't give a second thought to. The average person pushing a shopping cart thru Kroger would have had a fit over. It's just perception, but we need to get mindful of how we are perceived. [/QUOTE]
