[QUOTE="Hippie Rancher, post: 834021, member: 4203"] "don't you kids chouse them cows" - IMPRINTED from my Grampa spent a few years doing things the force-em yelling and screaming way, then figured out it took LESS time to go slow and quiet. Yes, good facilities help immensely but cruddy pens will also teach you to work slow and gentle :o I'm pretty big so don't REALLY need tools to be "wider" :D , but will pick up a stick or piece of plastic pipe if I need it. Drag panels around. Used some orange construction fence in the manner of somebody above using electric twine. Kind of depends on what what is being done - I have a great loading chute now and can run them in a trailer fast from the outside, rarely need to do anything but step in and shut the door. (also have the trailer pretty high off the ground - found that to really stop them from running right back out, although with an old weak animal I have to build a step sometimes) Only time I get out the old hot shot is if something goes down in the chute. I work mostly on foot by myself in the corrals, but sometimes we have a crew for branding and work horseback. Otherwise I just do a few at a time by myself or with somebody to catch heads at the table/chute. [/QUOTE]
