[QUOTE="Giles1, post: 3611360, member: 902"] We calve outside and on some rough ground at times so a cow catcher although on the wish list is only a partial solution.We try to tag calves when mum has gone to the feed trailer.This does rely on the instinct of the cow to "hide" it's calf rather than drag it along to the feeder.But our lot will look out for each others calves,so it can still get fraught.If the cow won't leave it's calf before it's likely to outrun a human,we drive up with the quad and trailer, grab the calf and get it in the trailer,tag,elastrate and drop off asap.This is normally a two man operation,but does mean you can go faster than a snotty cow........Bit rough in the back sometimes though.
