[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1823241, member: 6291"] Good advice [USER=42956]@blackladies[/USER] That can be tricky. It's always good to have a fence or wall that funnels animals to the gate of your pen. Calves are notorious for hanging out along the edges or outside. Next time you feed try to keep the group together. One of the fundamentals of moving cattle is to not let them string out or separate. If you can get some one with the bucket or what ever to lead and then get a person in the rear putting a little pressure on them. The front person needs to not let the lead cattle run off and the rear person needs to not let calves or cows fall back from the group. Just play with it and see what happens. If you push a little hard one day, try again a couple days later. Go slow and study the cattle. Look for the signals the calves are giving you before they bolt. Try to anticipate that so you can prevent it. You can train cattle just like any thing else with consistency. [/QUOTE]
