[QUOTE="novatech, post: 504410, member: 5494"] Good tips TB Brahman have especially good memories. Mine are easy to work through the chutes at my place. I loaded 2 today and took them to the vet. All went well until I went to unload them. They would not budge. They absolutely remembered their last experience at the vet. The first thing the help wants to do is get the hotshot out. I don't allow it. It took me 30 minutes to get them off the trailer and into the crowding tub. All the vets now know how I want my animals treated. Maybe the next time I take them they will unload a little faster. I found that training is the easest way to get cattle to work properly in the pens. Let them go through the chuts when you have no reason to do so. Then when you need them to go through it is easy. The one thing I wish I had done is put a curve in the chute so they could not see a trailer backed up. Always have your corral fences higher than they can jump over. Once they make it over you have just trained them to escape. I do not know why but F1's are far more hyper than purebred Brahmans. All the more reason to train them to be docil at a young age.
