[QUOTE="aussie_cowgirl, post: 774158, member: 1279"] I had a little hereford steer that seemed to like the prod. He would stop, and when you zapped him he jumped, took a step or 2 then stopped and looked back at the person with the prod. He never grew out of that. FFA girl, as everyone else has said they're just being stubborn. We use a piece of poly pipe here, doesn't hurt them so much as to make them jump, if they're really stubborn that might not be enough. The other technique I've used that normally works is when they lay down, get the person that's helping you to use both hands and give them an almighty whack on the soft part of their guts, and I mean put as much force into it as you can. You may have to do that more than once with some really stubborn animals but that should work. Another tip is to not even let them get to that point. Keep their head up and if they start to put their front legs down, get the person following you to whack them with the poly pipe under their belly until they get back on their feet. Hollow poly pipe is your best friend! [/QUOTE]
