[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1496288, member: 18945"] You had a headgate? We just had a tree and lots of ropes. It was an upgrade when we built our first pen of sorts and planted a cut telephone pole in the middle of it. Just a roughly round sawn oak pen with a big funnel leading in to it. Rope one, run around the pole with the rope right quick while someone pushes her toward you, and you take up slack till you have her snubbed up close. Branding and cutting, we would cast them. Deworming, we left the standing and snubbed high. Most had horns which made it easier for my and brother's poor roping. I need to go out into the Nat Forest across the highway and see if that old cement dip vat is still there. Probably filled in after all these years. The stock owners would cut long saplings, tie or nail them to trees to make a big Vee and drive the cows thru the vee and the only way out was swimming thru the dip vat. (Ticks and grubs were awful back then) [/QUOTE]
