Yes, we are not dealing with man eating cows. I have always just pulled the calves up onto the four wheeler to vaccinate and tag a few hours after they are born, it is hard on the back. This way I can drive up to the calf, catch him in the cage and work in the cage, without pulling them up onto the wheeler. If there is a problem, I can put the calf in the back rack and 9 times out of 10 a cow will follow up to the barn. We have used a sled for years to move cattle up to the barn this way, but getting the calf strapped in the sled while bent over is hard on the back and I don't like being on the ground close to a calf with a protective cow. The neighbor has used this same catch and says with a lively calf, they will jump up onto the wire mesh and then you just have to flip it up to lock them into position to vaccinate. There is a video u tube under "gray calf catch" that shows how they work. The man who builds these is about 20 miles from me, he ships them all over the country. They have been around quite a while.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
