[QUOTE="Texas Gal, post: 333395, member: 2570"] Just got rid of a nut case last Saturday. Most of the time she wouldn't come in the pens; if she did and you made a move to shut the gate, she'd turn and haul a$$ out of there. Now for the rest of the story: she WASN'T even our cow! The old biddy showed up in our pasture last August all skinned up from head to toe with a BCS of about 2 sporting a salebarn tag. After about a 2 weeks, I finally get a call from the neighbor about a cow he just bought that's missing. I still don't know why he was buying cows in August in North Central Texas with no grass for the other 3 head on his 4 acre Ponderosa. Months pass with no luck getting her in the pens. Then the poor old neighbor man up and dies! We contact the family and the son-in-law says as soon as we can pen her he'll come to get her. After another month the son-in-law calls and says if you can't pen would you buy. I allowed as how I wasn't really interested. I continue trying to pen her. Of course, he hasn't offered to reimburse me for the last 5 months worth of feed. Finally last Saturday the b_ _ tch went in the pen and I slammed the gate shut.The son-in-law arrived with a broken-down, open topped trailer with an weaning age donkey colt in the front section. Talk about a rodeo. I finally got her loaded that's when I realized the trailer gate is broken! I had to use baling wire to hold the bottom of the gate shut. All this time the cow is spinning like a top in the trailer looking for a way out and then decides to try to climb out the top.
