[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 18590"] Horses and ATVs each have their place. But if the cattle are properly conditioned, on the relatively smaller places the vast majority of them can readily be corraled by use of range cubes a good set of lungs to yell "whoooooooooooo" . At least that's been my experience. I know that on really large ranches in the Texas hill country and in the south they of course use horses for roundup, but even there most of the cattle can be called up with those loud compressed air blow horns and cubes. And the cattle don't need to be micro-managed and "played with" every day in order for them to respond to this practice. Just do it every now and then, but give them a reward for coming up. A cousin of mine runs around 400 head of cattle in the East Texas thickets and used to always hire horsemen to round them up for spring & fall working. I showed him what I did with my cattle (admittedly a far smaller operation) and he was baffled, but he started trying it and soon thereafter he was able to do without the horsemen. But I guess there is always the oddball exception cow or bull and I have one, about which I have posted before, for which apparently only the use of horsemen and/or my 7 mm magnum will work.
