[QUOTE="gman4691, post: 1838859, member: 43107"] Don't know if it would be any help but I had to "re-domesticate" about 25 cows. It was a slow process. Just about every time I went down there, I would take a bag of cubes. In probably less than a year, most got to where they would come to me. When I get them up for worming/vaccination/banding etc., I will go down there every other day for week and feed them in the lot leaving the gate open. On the day I'm going to work them, they usually all just belly up to the troughs and I close the gate. Only problems I've had are the young ones not wanting to go in but I have some gates in the lot where I can close the cows into a part of the lot and usually just herd the younger ones into the lot on foot, close the gate behind them, and swing the gates inside the lot open. When I've got them altogether, I position those interior gates to form a funnel into the chute. Before, I had some really wild ones that were hard to get in there but finally managed to do so and sold them...when I say "really wild" I mean dangerously wild (long story). [/QUOTE]
