[QUOTE="uplandnut, post: 1829826, member: 24555"] I'm in central Wi, as my avatar says. Is it absolutely essential for me to tag at birth maybe not but it's what I prefer. I also administer enforce 3 nasal at birth. I don't believe 4wheeler or side x side calf catcher would work for me as my pasture is no where near as smooth as the ones in there videos. I start calving in March and some years we are fighting 2 feet of snow yet and other years I am dragging tractor axles through the mud to get out to there feeding area. Which is where they calve. My thought was by putting one on the tractor I could get through this area and use it for when I tag calves alone. Also thought that if I had a sick calf I could carry back to the lean to for doctoring instead of dragging it in a toboggan 20 feet behind me in the mud or snow. I tag and band my bull calves at birth and try to do a iodine dip to the navel. It makes it a lot easier to match calf to cow for me when I'm checking them and when I get ready to haul to summer pasture. I apologize for opening up a **** storm by asking if anyone had experience with one and how they liked or disliked it. I was simply throwing the idea around to get opinions from people that had them.
