[QUOTE="tytower, post: 805538, member: 2399"] Self taught except for castrating and dehorning . Cattle work on straight lines ,they see something and they go straight there so try to make it a clear straight line to where you want them to be . From behind there are pressure zones to walk cattle to a gate. If you get on the right side and come out to where they can see you they will go left away from you . Same on the left side they will go right if they see you out their left eye. If you wnt them to go straight stay right behind them ,not too close -give them time. Best to feed molases or something in a bucket and call them . Makes it a darn site easier. I use a 4 foot piece of black 1" irrigation tube if I must in the yards but it is better to set the yards up right and not stir them up . Had a timber floor ramp and had to use a prodder to get them up to the truck at times . Concreted the ramp floor and now they go straight up. They dont trust any hollow sound underfoot. Agree with most of whats in these posts except the Brahmans , worst cattle I have ever had for temperament , and bloody tough to eat , thats why the Indians treat them as sacred ,they'r too stringy.
