[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 549198, member: 1974"] I think it's mostly a matter of our attitude toward handling the show cattle. Animals heading off to the salebarn for feeding out, or slaughter, or even back to the farm as breeding stock might need pushed on the trailer, or squeeze gates to force them on. We like our show cattle to know if we lead them, they can trust us to follow. We've only been showing open class breeding stock 7 years, and it's an attitude and method of handling we've developed during that time. It's a method that works well for us. And a word of caution -- I did say our show animals load like puppy dogs, please keep in mind that even puppy dogs have bad days and a 2000 lb puppy dog needs an alert person on the end of the lead!
