[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1304315, member: 24027"] One perk of having docile hand-feeders is they are so much easier to doctor. Most of them will let me take their temp in the pasture if I throw down a couple cubes or scratch their hind end. Depending on the season & where they are it's also easier to hand-feed Sustain boluses at the 1st sign of sickness (foot rot, snotty nose, coughing, etc). Doesn't always cure what ails them but if we have to get them to one of the chutes or move the corral they generally follow me - with cubes as incentive. Having said that, I did end up with 2 black eyes last summer. Not a good luck but it wasn't all bad because my husband offered to run any errands in town the next couple weeks :) [/QUOTE]
