What technique does tail jacking involve?

Tail jacking involves lifting the tail of an animal, particularly when dealing with larger livestock or certain types of animals, to prevent kicking. This technique is used as a way to gain better control of the animal during handling. By lifting the tail, the animal's ability to kick is restricted, thereby ensuring the safety of both the handler and the animal.

This method is often applied in veterinary settings or during routine handling procedures to minimize the risk of injury. The focus on lifting the tail rather than holding, tying, or grooming indicates that the primary objective is to manage the animal’s movement effectively while providing a safe environment for care or examination.
