Subject: Giving sows shots


Lander, WY
How do you guys do it? It was worming time today, I dread having to give shots to something that weighs 2-3 times what I do. Most poeople I know (and how I've been doing it) is a quick jab as they eat. I had one that broke a need off, that was NOT fun getting that taken care of...

I've thought about building a chute of some type, just tight enough that they couldn't turn or move too much. I'm only talking a few sows, anything below 200 pounds I don't have a problem with, just the big sows and boars really make you pause when the spin around on you. I imagine most commercial guys have sows in crates, that would make it easy, but we don't have crates here, so doesn't help me.

TIA
