[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1440058, member: 21194"] How large is the pen you're trying to catch them in? I pen about 25 cows, with a bull and calves, in a wire pen that's 32 x 64. You need a pen large enough that they won't be crowded. After getting them in the trap with feed I then move them into the smaller pens and work them a few at a time. Also, for the bunch you're talking about 50 pounds of feed isn't enough. The ones that come in first will have it all eaten up before the more timid ones come in. I usually put out 150 pounds when I'm penning mine. You should try at least 200, and maybe more. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
