[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 529919, member: 1683"] zendog- I tend to agree with Frankie - "you pays your money -and you takes your chances!" However, I would disagree with you in thinking that you could "convince" your cattle to accede to your demands more easily if they were 300 pounds lighter! A 900 pound animal is a lot more capable of avoiding your 'convincing' than you may think! ...and bear this in mind with your future planning: the management of ANY livestock, even chickens, is fraught with problems and unexpected events that dictate your careful planning and organizing your work. A well-trained Border Collie could preclude your having a Heart attack AND help prevent tearing up your pastures. ...and you! And they are a lot of enjoyment, also! I think that your thinking is correct, considering your current circumstances, but don't delude yourself into thinking that "smaller is easier!" It is a 'trade-off' at best. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
