[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 972620, member: 6543"] have said this before....relative to chute work....feed em in the head chute.... this past weekend I bred some cows for the neighbor...brought em to my barn and used my facilites for set up and breeding as all under roof..... he has one cow that was shown, so she is gentle. she is also big....has always been a pain to put down the chute as she has mastered the I am stuck and cannot move routine..... In my chute I have had much bigger cows go through easily ...but she tried the routine on me....I touched her once with the hot shot to get her to go and then fed her in the headchute.... second time thru the chute she did not have any stickyness and went right to the head gate....looking for feed. On breeding day I had to close a gate to keep her out of the chute while I was breeding the cow in front of her....when it came her turn she was banging on the head gate to get to the feed.... six yearling heifers were all auto loading by the third trip thru the chute..... it is just too easy not to try.... my hot shot is one of those little hand held models that you can put in your back pocket....this insures judicious use...no chance of abusing from five feet away. I would rather feed them than shock them any day..... [/QUOTE]
