[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1761063, member: 22072"] We cull any problems cows and only keep docile cows that can be worked on foot. But, i know people who do have cows who are hard to work and its unnecessary. We just shake our heads watching them work. We wont even go into pastures of some cows that belong to others. Nice cows make things so much easier, trust me. Had someone years ago that had to use dogs to get their cows up. The cows would hear the truck coming and take off. I believe they did a lot of roping too...lol... As a 60ish yr old woman, i can get almost any cow out of a herd, and to the corral ( i set it up first) i get her in the front gate, shut it, i move her to the alleyway, shut the gate behind her, i move her to the tub, shut the gate behind her, from there she moves on through the chute and catches herself. All done by one person (who at times can be a scaredy cat). Doest that sound like something to work towards.. If you're in the desert, dont the cows have limited water sources? Pens in that area would be a good idea since they go to it at least once a day. I believe in keeping it simple, safe and quick... A neighbor recently was running a trouble cow out of the woods and had a bad accident where he'll probably never recover. Sounded horrific, horse threw him and then kicked him. [/QUOTE]
