[QUOTE="hillbilly beef man, post: 665371, member: 4786"] No matter how wild she is never underestimate the power of feed. We had one of our neighbors buy an Angus cow at a sale. When he turned her loose she headed straight for the fence, jumped it and was gone. She eventually came across the ridge and got in with our cows. When you pulled up in the truck she would head to the woods she was so wild. Neighbor wanted to try to get her out then, but I told him not to be in any hurry and let her settle down for a couple of weeks. We started feeding chop every day at this place. The first few days she would run when you pulled up. But if you hid where you could watch the feed box, as soon as you left she would come in and start eating with the rest of them. She gradually got calmer as we kept feeding every day until she was waiting on you at the feed box when you pulled up in the truck. When neighbor came to get her we took a bucket of feed and led her straight into the corral. No running, no cussing, no hassle. The neighbor paid us for the feed and bought us a steak dinner. It can take some time, but most cows can eventually be bucket trained. The rest usually have to leave on their sides at room temperature. [/QUOTE]
