[QUOTE="CattleHand, post: 592652, member: 6534"] We did this a while back and just wanted to share it because it wasn't somethign I would of came up with on my own. While working for my grandpa last summer we had a cow that had gotten into a nasty habit of jumping fences. She was a pretty testy cow that you could tell was always planning her escape route whe you were trying to pen her. One day we loaded her up and put her through the chute. My grandpa had me cut a branch that was in the shape of a Y with the bottom part being thick and not too long. We put the Y onto her neck and ran a piece of bailin wire through a hose and tied it on. Her neck with into the fork part and the wire went above her neck. The hose helped the wire not to dig into her so much. Then loaded her back up and put her back from the pasture she belonged. The branch weighed her head down enough to where she couldnt jump over a fence but she coudl still eat and such. A few days later (im not sure how long her left it on) he loaded her up and cut the wire off. It worked. Thought he was a smart man for coming up with that and just wanted to share. [/QUOTE]
