[QUOTE="Premier Longhorns, post: 435419, member: 6418"] I've been reading posts about normal cattle who seemingly get mean in chutes or enclosed areas. Do they get claustrophobia? -or is it actually a case of induced panic brought on by previously terroizing experiences in the past? I think a big problem many cattlemen have is that they are either in too much of a hurry or do not handle their cattle at all and when they do they "manhandle" them in effect often terrorizing them. Texas Longhorns for one are extremely smart and learn by association. They don't forget. They know their friends and they know their percieved enemies. There are a lot of cows and bulls out there of all breeds who have been labeled everything from mean, stupid or outright nuts who are simply scared to death. Why? Because they've been "trained" by unwitting handlers to be fearful. They aren't born that way, they become that way. We treat our cattle with gentle consideration...and within the limits of their ability-there is nothing they wouldn't do for us. Bovine psychology is really little more than plain old common sense. Gentle People make Gentle Cattle...Rough cruel people make normal cattle dangerous. We use a hot wire on our fenceline but no one is going to convince me that Electric shockers used to move cattle aren't a form of bovine terrorism... and where there is fear in a half ton or one ton animal, people and animals get hurt. Check our website for Cattle Handling training techniques that really work. Besides, it's a lot safer and a lot less stressful for all concerned. After all, common sense dictates you can not out-muscle cattle, so lets out-think them by incorporating gentle handling techniques. ____________________________________________________ Premier Longhorns LLC Registered Texas Longhorns Cutting Edge Genetics Stillwater, OK [url=http://www.premierlonghorns.com/INFORMATION-LINKS.html]http://www.premierlonghorns.com/INFORMATION-LINKS.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
