How to stop a cow from jumping over a fence

[lavacarancher]

Don't see why it wouldn't work for goin' over the fence. We always used them when they tried to feed through or under the fence.

If you can get him rigged up right you can use horses/tractor and drag him into the trailer.

one good way to keep them from jumping the fence is to open the gate

We have a lead on some cowboys - so how do we get him in the trailer - or will they be able to do that?

They live for times like this. Just be ready to load.

Sounds like fun.

I know this is an older thread, and has taken a change in direction by discussing the bull that can't catch or load, and hiring cowboys to catch him......but wanted to add.....on the subject of catching a stray and loading it.....

A few years ago there was a rangy stray bull that hopped in to my pasture. I found the owner due to his brand. That bull could really jump and he was a wild one. He looked like athletic crossbred rodeo stock and he had horns.

Owner shows up with a trailer and 2 dogs. He parked the trailer in the middle of the pasture and opened the trailer gate. I'm thinking yah right this is not going to work out in the middle of the wide open pasture. He told the dogs to get him and those dogs penned that bull in the trailer in about 3 minutes. And he was gone.

Good dogs are a wonder.
Cowboying can be fun.
But in dairy country we tend to use a .22 or a 30 cal before we load them. A little lead and a winch really make it easy.
