[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1523337, member: 24583"] Oh yeah. Me too. I use it as a last resort. Especially when I’m working my cows. But when I’m putting them on the wagon, I use it a lot. Some may disagree with me but I personally think the quickest way to get hurt fooling with cattle is when you’re loading them. Especially when you’re loading the back cut. A trailer confines you. You better move quick and think quicker. But loading a haltered bovine generally doesn’t warrant the use of a hot shot. Time and patience are probably better alternatives. One more think I’ve used, especially with sick, injured, or similar cattle is to get them to the back of the trailer and run a rope or ratchet strap, tied to the trailer on one end and looped around the bars/slats on the other end, around behind them and keep applying pressure to the rear end. Generally works pretty good, especially if you’re trying to keep them calm. [/QUOTE]
