[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1241252, member: 14661"] I had a couple of headhunters floating around for a while. I had to have dogs with me just to check springs and do fence work for about two years. They were good cows but hot. I'd go up to feed hay and put the truck in gear and climb out on the bed to feed and they'd keep chasing the truck after the hay was off because they knew I was going to step off that bed sooner or later. Horseback they weren't so bad and they were dog broke so I put up with it for a while but one day I had my family at the ranch and my daughter was walking across the corrals when one of them came down to get a drink from the creek(they have to pass through the corrals to get to the creek). I saw her coming and ran out and grabbed my daughter and pretty much threw her over a gate and then it was me and four dogs in a fight for our lives... Six of the worst were gone that week and that fixed most of it. The one that will always stick out in my mind was watching a young guy at the sale. He was penning a brahman bull in the individual pens and was so scared of him that he could barely move and that bull never even flapped his ears. That kid slammed the gate on that bull and stood there looking at him while a wet holstein cow (wet, at a time when milk prices were pretty good, in a yard that doesn't handle dairy cattle :shock: ) came flying around the corner. She pretty well mualed that kid and in the end he was crawling into the pen with the bull he was so scared of and the bull was a perfect gentleman even when we were bunched in there tending to the kid and that milk cow in the next pen was trying to come through the fence to get us.
