[QUOTE="Alan, post: 1019332, member: 378"] Let's see if I got this right BRYANT, the good post are the ones that agree with you and bad post are the ones that don't. Then there are the stupid ones. :? , you are correct in one thing "crazy cows do make crazy cows". Bad handlers (crazy cowboys)make crazy cows also. Cattle, especially confined in a working pen, will react to the handlers and the other cattles actions, stir one up and many get stirred. I used a hot shot in the past, it's now collecting dust in the barn. My older cattle know there is only one way out of the working pen and most line up at the chute to get out. Younger ones take a little more effort, but not much. I should say in a very few cases a hotshot is a helpful tool, such a the big baby of a bull who refused to move up in the chute. I also watch a steer in the show ring lay down and refused to get up no matter what the poor kid did. Someone went out of the ring and came but with some small hand held device he was trying to hide in the palm of his hand. On touch to the steers hind end and it was no secret what he had. Steer was up and went straight out of the ring. Do you know what's really nice BRYANT, I get to work my cows my way and you get to work your cows yours. I'll stand by my statement "crazy cowboys make crazy cows". If anyone breaks out a hotshot on my place for my cattle, their gone. [/QUOTE]
