[QUOTE="showmomof2, post: 409045, member: 6546"] The only problem that I have with letting them drag a lead rope is what if they hang up on something. We were feeding a ffa project heifer for a boy who was keeping it at school on the weekends. We live close to the school and he lived quite a distance away, so we fed her on the weekend. The grooming shoot had been left in the pen and she had a knot in the end of her lead. there was also a pole behind the shoot with just enough room between them for her to walk between. Sometime between the morning and evening feedings as she walked between the two, the knot hung up under the shoot and she wrapped her rope around the pole several times. By the time we found her, she had thrown herself on the ground. I don't know if she broke her neck or what happened, but she was dead. I cannot get that image out of my head. Our leads don't have knots in them, but I am really nervous about them getting wrapped around something. I guess I'm paranoid. [/QUOTE]
