[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1440023, member: 17956"] My set up,is definitely part of my problem. My actual catching/working pen, would hold the entire herd. It would be a little tight, but it could be done. The pen itself, would hold anything. It's 7 feet tall. I have 2 "pens" leading to that. They are probably the weak spot in the plane. They are just barbed wire fences, with 2 strands of electric. Maintaining 75% of the herd, in a small space, till I get the other 25% is probably where I fail. Plus, just about any time I put pressure on them in the barbed wire part of my catching system, one or more will crash it. Patience, and perhaps common sense, are probably what's stopping me. I'm also too tight to build what would get the job done efficiently. my actual working pen, is adaquet to hold just about anything. What I need to accomplish sounds simple. Wean about 30 calves, and cull about 10 cows for various issues. Be sweet, to do that in one big swoop. It's not going to happen. I will gobble up a bunch of time doing it my way. [/QUOTE]
