[QUOTE="sidney411, post: 499879, member: 430"] No, we don't use dogs. He is not weaned, so that may be what we do with his mother, she's calm as can be and will follow a sack anywhere. Don't have a tranq gun, but could ask the vet if I could borrow theirs if they have one. If I fed in the trailer the cows would likely tear the trailer apart getting the feed and the calf is too far down the totem pole to probably ever get access to the feed. He was in the middle of the herd when we 1st pushed the whole group (58 animals) into the pens. He turned around and fought his way through them as they were going in the pens. The pens are roofed so it is darker (shade) under the roof then in the pasture. I guess that could have spooked him, if that is the case I have no way to remedy that problem that I can think of. Thanks for all the suggestions - I think I will try penning his mother a day before I want to sell him to see if he will go in that way, if not I guess the rope idea will be what we resort too. Anyone want to gove me roping lessons? :oops: [/QUOTE]
