    duct tape on the outside of the buckets the tape stops the vacuum between the buckets we use 5 gal buckets to haul the dead out of the chicken houses we had a couple that split down the side - wrapped duct tape around them for that and this solved the bucket sticking problem too

    Treats?

    Same here - I can do just about anything with the cows since I started feeding the range cubes. Until I moved here my dad didn't have time to play with the girls but I enjoy their reaction to a bag or 2 on the tailgate. Hard to imagine that an animal that big can kick up her heels.
