[QUOTE="ingeclody, post: 815284, member: 16285"] We lost two young steers 10 days ago. something spooked them and they went right thru the electric fence They were loose 3 days before someone located them. They run away if they even see a person. The terrain is steep with a lot of brush. They hide in the brush. Hired a man with two exceptional herding dogs. Dogs walked the steers thru the brush to a clearing where a pipe coral was set up. The steers would not go into the clearing, They turned and bolted. Ran about a mile. Charged a man on horseback who was trying to block their way. They went up a steep and rocky hill . The horse could not follow-too steep and rocky . Don't know where the steers are now. Even if found, we are at a loss as to how to catch them. They go right thru barbed wire and electric fencing. If cornered, they charge at whatever is standing in their way. Have already inquired about tranquilizer gun. Can't get close enough. Food doesn't entice them. There are areas of green, lush grass and a stream. We live in San Diego County. We have had a roper, a tracker, herding dogs, people on horseback (not all at once) None of it worked. thought about shooting them, but it would take a high powered rifle and a permit which I doubt we could get .Anyone have advice ? :help: [/QUOTE]
