Calves, in particular, may not move easily and on occasion it will be necessary to move them by lifting and carrying.

To lift the animal:

• Squat down beside the animal

• Bend your knees.

• Put one arm around the forequarters.

• Put the other arm around the hindquarters.

• Straighten your legs and lift the animal off the ground.
