[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 865553, member: 3739"] I learned my cattle handling skills from Dad, lots of experience, a bit of reading from some books and a bit more experience and common sense. I also prefer to work alone, the animals seem to get less anxious and nervous when there's only one person around to work with them. I don't use any tools to work with cattle, just body language, use of the arms to make myself look as big as possible, and of course my eyes to watch and see how and where they're going to move next. A sorting stick is only used in the handling facility, and used only when there's trouble with an animal that won't go in, or to make my reach extend a bit more when herding them down the working corral. Hotshot only when absolutely necessary. [/QUOTE]
