[QUOTE="kenny thomas, post: 656015, member: 8993"] How tame is too tame. I also call my cows into the lot. Could not drive one if you tried. Mine are tame enough that I have worked 70 cows and 45 calves in the last two weeks by myself wit5h less than perfect facilities. Just take my time and never get them excited and they will do whatever I want. I know all cattle are not like that but I have culled over the years until I can handle them. Several years ago it took all the family to work them. Not anymore, If one gives problems me and her make a trip to town and she does not return. Yes, I do have a few Brahama influenced cows and a few longhorns and they work good also. As said before let them know you are the boss but do it gently, walk slowly and talk softly. Easier on them and me. [/QUOTE]
