But what do you think about dividers?
WHY????
Because they keep the area looking tidy and professional
Because they distinguish your stud from others, giving promotional benefits
Because it stops the next animal sh!tting into my clean stalls
Because it stops the next animal turning around and sh!tting on my animals food
Because it stops the next animal from eating my animals food
Because it lets me get in at my cattle without worrying that the next one will kick/headbut/swing etc
Because it stops two unfamiliar bulls fighting
Because it stops two unfamiliar females fighting
Because it creates a significant barrier to the mongrel angus bull that wants to serve my MG heifer
Because if I have a baby calf I can put in a third divider and a gate and make it a pen
Because it looks good
Reasons we use dividers, anyway.
There isn't a need for dividers if you put neck ties on them. if you dont have neck ties, get a spare rope halter and reverse it. then tie the rope to the right of the actual calf halter about 3 feet with enough slack to lay down and get up.
your 2 ropes should make a Y against the fence
Y halter tied on the left and neck rope tied on the right
