[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 777621, member: 1683"] This excellent tread and subject material is an example of how valuable "CattleToday" is to the Beef Breeding community! Although ALL of these posts on this thread are invaluable in their own right, the two by "pdfangus" and "robert" are the most significant, In My Opinion. Handling ANY animal which is five to 20 times stronger than you are, and weighs five to 20 times MORE than you do is a dangerous activity in itself. Knowledge and experience in managing these creatures is imperative if one expects to be successful at the job and make a PROFIT - and at the same time retain your LIFE and health! In my early beef cattle handling experiences, bad disposition was just expected as part of the job, and nobody thought much about it insofar as reducing the problems - short of a 30-06 being introduced into the management protocols! Now, of course, cooler heads prevail, and higher firepower is quicker and more permanant! :lol2: :???: I am kidding , of course! Everone has their own ideas about managing fractious animals, but by utilizing every technic from common sense to observing breeding traits will result in a more safe environment in working your herd for yourself, as well as your famaily and POTENTIAL customers.
