[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 791877, member: 14661"] I once had to deal with loading stupid herefords, ugly/mean herefords, and good cows all at the same time. The ugly/mean herefords were either in front of the herd tearing out fences or in back fighting with me while the black/bwf were waiting for just enough pressure to give them incentive to do exactly what I want them to do willingly and the stupid herefords stood in the back and reacted to my screaming rants and slapping them with the end of my reins and finally to my hotshot with the "Ooouuuuch... What was that for? I'm mooooving as faaast as I caaan" look. They were all going to the same pasture on the the other end and there were about three loads of each but with almost no exceptions they shipped in even loads by group. Mean herefords first except for the three we roped and tied down for the last load, willing black cows second, stupid herefords last with lots of hoop and holler to get them on the truck. I like quiet cows that do what I want them to do but there is such a thing as to gentle and it can be as bad as to mean. [/QUOTE]
