[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1295443, member: 14713"] Another vote for straight. I also agree with the "think like a cow" comment. Cows aren't dumb. If you have a bit of patience and let the cow consider her situation for a moment, most often the cow will decide to do the right thing that you want her to do on her own. If you push her too hard, you and her are guaranteed to have problems, most likely with a lot of cussin' and discussin' included :idea: I've seen cattle successfully worked quietly and without fanfare through some pretty borderline and rinky-dink facilities. And I've seen some real train wrecks where it was lucky someone didn't get seriously hurt in "good" facilities when a lot of whoopin' and hollerin' was involved. If both you and the cow can maintain a positive attitude, that is much more important to the final result than the actual physical facility. I guess I'm trying to summarize Soapweed's philosophy, somewhat paraphrased, "The best way to work cattle fast is to work cattle slow". [/QUOTE]
