[QUOTE="Nowland Farms, post: 825758, member: 2797"] Years ago when I wanted to get into Cattle, I talked to a couple of elderly guys that I went to church with. Hoyt & Ben were in their late 60s or early 70s at the time and had cattle all their lives. They took me under their wing and became my cattle mentors. I learned alot from those guys over the years. I learned to handle them quietly and slowly. Most of the time by my self. Hoyt & Ben taught me that a white 5 gallon bucket with a little sweetfeed will make the cows do what you want better than anything. All I have to do is shake the bucket and call them. They come running. Heck, at one time they even knew the sound and sight of my truck. I have seen them down close to the pasture gate and when they saw my truck, they would take off running toward the corral. This made it easy for me cause they left the area where I need to get in the gate and were in the corral waiting on their snack. This way I could look them over and make sure nothing was wrong. Hoyt & Ben taught me alot the years they were here. They are gone now. RIP Guys, I miss your help. [/QUOTE]
