[QUOTE="CowCop, post: 133427, member: 1049"] ~ Hollar "come you old witch," shake the white bucket... and get out of the way. They will come a mile in about 4 minutes or less, gives me time to rearrange gates while encouraging them to hurry. And they do hurry--always. 2 weeks ago it really paid off. We had a horrible wind & rain storm that resembled a hurricane. I watched trees being blown over and I knew the herd could be injured if they remained in the timber. I had minutes to get the herd out of the woods and into a open field across the street. My boss doubted I could do it without being blown away or losing the cows down the road. I yelled--twice. The wind carrying my voice. I heard the cows yell back instantly. They came a running full gallop. I opened gates on the other side of the road while being blown all over the place. I prayed no vehicles would be driving on the road--since I couldn't see or hear a thing because of the driving rain and wind. The herd stampeded across the road and into the upper open field--all of them--cows, calves and bull. A miracle. The voice is mightier than dogs, horses, vehicles, grain sacks or neighbors. [/QUOTE]
