[QUOTE="Rydero, post: 1718813, member: 38101"] I'd starve them out. Put a good bale in the pen and lock them out at night. Only time they get in is during the day. When it's gate opening time take a pail of grain and call them. Dump a third of the pail 10' inside the gate. Walk into the inner pen where the bale is and dump the rest of the grain. Leave for an hour. Come back and go approach the outer gate, some will run back out for a few days. Just let them. Give the animals that don't run another 10mins to eat then kick them all out and close up. Repeat. Once almost all of them are in every time close the outer gate and get all the contained ones in the inner pen. Go get another bale and drop it in the outer pen and leave for an hour. Try to catch more and keep bumping them to the inner pen. Once it's only one or two they'll either be desperate to be close to the locked in cows or have to be shot. I've never had to shoot one but the cows I'm working with have been handled. Get the neighbor to pay you a bit to do it and stay the heck away. You+pail+call=food=good The saying here goes, "If you want to chase a cow, you have to be smarter than a cow." [/QUOTE]
