[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1719324, member: 40587"] The other 10 wooded? Yeah, you wouldn't be able to push these cattle too much with anything: horses, dogs, 4 wheelers, or whatever. Contrary to what some of the cattle geniuses on here have eluded to, no cowboy anywhere, real or rodeo, would attempt to rope 17 head in a 40 acre pasture like that. What they would do, is gather them up and ease them down to, then into, the pens. If these cows have never seen a horse, then they'd be ok with someone that knew what they are doing. Cattle are not afraid of horses, unless they have had a bad experience with them. I never , ever, got in any pasture with my cattle on foot. Always on horseback. Some groups I had over the years would, however, be afraid of a man on foot out in their pastures. Suited me, too. Those would be a little more rustler proof, and it helped keep people out of my ponds, if a bunch oh wild =eyed cattle started running arpound snorting! LOL Especially with a groupp of Bramas or Criollo cattle. :) Yeah, [USER=24555]@uplandnut[/USER], sounds like you have already went above and beyond the call to be a good neighbor to him. No one would fault you if you just decided to wash your hands of the whole situation. I guess the boy needs to start looking for some hay, if he wants them to make it through the winter. [/QUOTE]
