[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1441150, member: 19683"] We quite often move cattle from one pasture to another. They spent max 2-3weeks in one pasture. They come when we clap with our hands, whistle. Call them like that since weaning, at first having some meal, so they quickly come like dogs in no time. Weanlings get meal twice a day and often have to call them from the other side of the pasture. We use movable steel pen for catching cattle.

Feed them there for at least once. When comes the time when will need to catch them for weighing or separating some for selling I bring meal with a quad like always and they would come into the pen to eat their meal without any problems.
