[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 141678, member: 43"] I guess it goes without saying, but with prices where they are there is increased temptation for the lowlifes to steal cattle. The Houston TV stations just ran a segment about a guy in Pearland, Tx. (a close suburb of Houston) that just had 31 cows and calves stolen by some filthy trash -- about 1/3 of all his animals. His place is apparently fairly well surrounded by subdivisions and lots of "civilization" but that didn't help. They apparently herded them into his pens and just ran them through the cute and onto the trailers. Things like that should probably make us double check our thinking about where we locate pens, where we do the winter feeding, should we vary the feeding time each day so as not to develope a noticeable pattern, branding, getting together with our neighbors to talk about who should and should not be on the property at any point in time, etc. A few good chains and/or some sort of significant barrier up against the loading chute might not hurt either.
