Had to help a neighbor with no facilities the other day. Roped her, tied her to a post and jacked the calf out old school. Haven’t had to do that in 20 years. Sure appreciate my setup more now with the maternity pen.

Yep it is nice to calve and see winter go.

Love the commentary and the talk to the cow and calf...sacrifice a halter to release the cow is not to big of a loss

I'll go back to halter tying school now.

That was an excellent idea tying the cow to the squeeze chute. Replace the old cut off halter with a new poly heavy duty halter about 5/8 in diameter with a break away hondo on it. Tie a piece of Red heavy round baler twine on the hondo and simply pull on the twine to release the cow.

@@AlbertaRanch , Just coming in now...and had to edit my comment. Had a new mom that calved and then decided to get something to eat. The calf must have been feeling a little to good and decided to introduce himself to the herd. I finally got them connected again and fought off all the other calves and mom's wanting to interfere. Think initially the cows were thinking, there's a new baby but no mom. this isn't right. 😂

Dang calves.. we try to halter break all the heifers we keep.. doesn't always happen.. missed 1 this year, we weren't going to keep, but decided to. Makes a difference later. We have dairy lockups in the maternity pens, makes it easier to get halters on.. then after we figure out what's going on and are ready to pull, the halter is tied to the lockups and we release the head.. and yes, gotta tie them right!!! Hopefully you aren't too close to any of the fires!!!

At least tie breaking hfrs is a good idea. Fires all an hour or so from us right now. Little bit of rain around so hopefully things calm down.

Mine are always trying to kill me!! Lol. That’s why I put a calf catcher on the quad. Works good as a shark cage.

@@AlbertaRanch I dislocated my elbow 6 years ago when I was 40 running for my life. Bought it the next spring. Hands down the best piece of equipment I’ve ever bought. We move our calves as they are born into their pasture groups in a different field. Tag and band them safely and over 95% of the cows follow it out well. The other 5 % we walk out on foot or with the quad if they are rangy.

@@AlbertaRanch it’s the original one out of the states. Believe it’s called calf catcher. Has a swivel on the front tire, step through the side off the machine. That swivel wheel is important, follows the machine around better. The knock offs have two fixed wheels. Not as nice.
