[QUOTE="Suzie Q, post: 841269, member: 14334"] I use a quad on my cattle now. It is too dangerous to use horses with the drought as there are cracks in the ground that can run several feet and the be wide enough for a hoof. The scariest thing I have seen. I can round the whole herd up with a quad even with cows with new calves who do not want to come up. My hubby cannot. It does not seem to be something that I can teach him. The same with lunging a horse. Sure he can do it under instruction but doesn't really understand it. That is with now 7 years with working with cattle. You just have to be in the right position to have them go where you want. Move a couple of cms that way and they will go the opposite way. So I am the one who brings the herd up. Last time we just called them and threw out some hay and they all came up. But I will go and get the quad in spring when they decide they are not hungry enough to come up. [/QUOTE]
