[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1473184, member: 14161"] He just hasn't forgiven you yet..... I have a story about 3 carloads of Chilcotin 2 and 3 year old steers told me by a fine gentleman named Jim Wright. Jim bought these steers nearly sixty years ago, Jim rode over the Great Divide nearly 30 of those years back. Anyway, he bought the steers from Tatla Lake Ranch and Chezacut Ranch. Jim told me they were some of the best quality and uniform Hereford steers he ever owned. His feedlot was at the Lower Mainland. Far more populous and busy than the wild Chilcotin steers were accustomed to and they would jump and run at any strange sound or movement. Good thing Jim's pens were well built and strong After watching his purchases do nothing but spook and shrink for two weeks Jim got a bright idea....... He and his help ran the whole works through the squeeze and sewed their eyes shut with catgut. Following their nose to the feed bunk and becoming accustomed to sound before they could see again, Jim told me they were almost gentle when the catgut rotted out. [/QUOTE]
