[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1226918, member: 18945"] Most of us (me too) have been there, working with less than the best fences and working pens--and under the right bad circumstances, and the right calf or cow, I'm still there. Meaning, if I get one riled up enough, my pen won't hold it. It's a good tube panel pen but I really need to reinforce it in places, and truth is, some of my fences won't hold one that really wants out either. I had a Char calf last year, about 325 lbs that went nuts when I slamed shut the pen gate--it ran full gallop into every panel on the pen, finally hit the gate full speed and bowed the gate out enough that it popped the latch out of it's hole and off it galloped in to the far pasture. (my fault--I forgot to chain the gate--I just slid the latch into it's lock position) You might call the ag dept at your local high school--some of them FFA boys are usually pretty big old boys and maybe good with a rope. If you do manage to get it roped, wouldn't hurt to have some younger stouter help with it either. On the rare occasion I do rope one, I'm lookin for a stout post or tree to take a wrap on before the end of the rope gets to my old hands. [/QUOTE]
