[QUOTE="polledbull, post: 160317, member: 574"] I recently bought 2 border collies. They were breed from a kennel that speciliazes in cattle dogs only and his 2 original collies were from 2 ranches in Australia . I must say he had over 50 head of border collie and we saw alot of cattle worked and they were tough. He could actually sic the dogs onto the head of a mature cow. He however has culled very hard over the last 40 years for the gritty instinct. This man is legendary on the East Coast for his line of collies. They however are not cheap with good started dogs going for 1500$ and up to $5000 for a broke dog.Another thing is getting your cattle acustomed to being worked by dogs. You cant just take the dog to a herd of cattle that has never been worked by a dog before . They will scatter and run everywhere. [/QUOTE]
