Well since I started all this hoopfla by asking a couple of questions - let me say thanks for the advise and various ideas given. I do have a "petable" relationship with my bull, I don't need to use a hot shot on him, but I do want to Knock him into next week if he won't stay out of the next pasture! Sounds only logical to me, not that some logic seems to be missing from -----. Anyway, thanks for the information and it is good to have a discussion that is somewhat controversial and illogical on occasion. [email=jbwood@hyperusa.com]jbwood@hyperusa.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
