[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 435757, member: 2383"] We do everything in our power to keep calm cattle, from pen layouts to occasional grain to just being quiet around them. Every once in a while we'll get one that just wigs out, but it's by far the exception. We had to doctor on a bred heifer (home-raised) this evening for a touch of pinkeye. I didn't feel like leading the whole group across three pastures to the barn with the chute in it so we put her in an old barn my Grampa used to feed in 30 years ago. Roped her and tied to a pole while my wife held the rope. Heifer never flinched while I stuck her with LA-200, flushed the eye with pen and patched it. Never thrashed one time, kind of surprised me to be honest. She's not a pet, can't scratch her but she'll take cubes from your hand. A lot can be said for calm cattle. cfpinz [/QUOTE]
