I've written this before, and I'm gonna write it again...so deal with it.
One of the sale barns in Stephenville...the guy that's responsible for unloading and loading cattle and running the cattle in and out of the ring will fire anyone caught using a cattle prod on a heifer or cow from the time they are unloaded until they are loaded...right after he whips their a$$es...end of story...and he doesn't care who agrees with him. He's been there for 30 years...

Well they sure have changed in the last 15 years as they were popping them right and left then. I have been to both those barns and in the working pens and a hotshot was in use.
15 years makes a big difference...especially at the one on 377.
I will clarify...the man I'm talking about has worked for the owner for 30+ years...which is as long as the owner's been in the auction barn business. How cattle were handled 15 years ago at their sale barns, I have no idea...guess they learned, however, 'cause a hot shot is not used on heifers and cows...
ever.

I don't believe that one little bit Salebarns are in the business of making money and moving cattle not playing with them. You get a sulled 2000 pound bulled in the holding pens that is headed for Alpo they are not sweet talking him in to moving.
I think you have someone blowing smoke up your dress to make you feel good.
:roll: If by "bulled" you mean bull, then reread what I wrote...I said heifers and cows.
Oh, and believe me...my brother doesn't blow smoke anywhere toward me to make me feel good...in fact, he'd do just the opposite just to get a reaction. My brother has worked that sale many times at the request of the man I am speaking about and is this man's good friend. Now, you wanna call him a liar...hey, ya' feel froggy, leap.
