[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7153331, member: 63856"] Our crush is on a concrete pad, so the weigh bars and platform sit level for weighing - which really makes it a nuisance for getting a calf to drink as the pic above shows - they have their front feet on the pad and their bum downhill, and don't get the right crook in their neck. Can cause scoury calves if the esophageal (sp?) groove isn't shut. But I just put a handful of coaldust in their mouths and they don't scour long (it's really charcoal dust I should add) as it binds them up well Luckily our girls are good enough that you yoke them up, give them a few handfuls of barley and a brush-down, and they take a calf. White girl out in the paddock with Silver already, with their calves sucking merrily [/QUOTE]
