Kind of late to this thread, just thought I'd add that my father-in-law who is very much a died in the wool traditionalist switched to using a calf table a few years back.
The social aspect of having all the neighbors over for branding is missed for sure, but on the flip side 3 of us can put alot of calves through quite efficiently. Calf roping seems to be a bit of a dying art, on the ranches in his area in any event.
