[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1019379, member: 6291"] No one is trying to tell any one else how they should do it. You have to know and learn what works best with your cattle. The idea that ALL cattle can be worked with out a hot shot is rediculous and the ideal that ALL cattle have to have a hot shot is just as rediculous. I would be leary of the vet who says he will not work cattle if a hot shot is out. Not because of the hot shot issue... but because it shows he is not very open minded. It would be interesting to see the average number of head owned among the anti-hot shot crowd? Could you imagine running 100, 200, 300+ head with out a hot shot. :shock: Put cubes in the trailer and get out your lawn chair like that one post. :lol: Hoes, axe handles, and all that stuff are a bad idea. Way too short and stout. Those good thin fiberglass slicks are the way to go. I keep one in the truck and several in the barn at all times. You can get a pretty good pop if you flip it right. When you hot shot break your cattle always put the hot shot against them and poke a couple times. If they don't go the hit the button. The learn those pokes. Then when you just have your stick you poke them a couple times and they will move. Little do they know that's not the electric stick. Kind of like using the beep on a dog collar before you actually shock them. Plus, you can kill rattle snake with the fiberglass stick if you hit them behind the head. [/QUOTE]
