March 2024 Photo Contest

Dammit, I did it again!!!!!🫣 I was actually torn between thanking you or hiding and claiming, "I never saw it".

Okay, so that's out of the way, the 2025 March photo contest is: your sketchiest, jankiest cattle handling setup. Show us how you improvise!!!
Your secrets safe with me. I don't even know what you're talking about.
 
Aaah if only I had pics of some of the places I have loaded them! Had a guy tell me he had a pen built. Pulled in to two pieces of non electrified tape fence on step in posts. Actually did get both his steers loaded with some minor improvising and a lot of luck.

I had a guy want me to haul a couple of pair from a hilltop in Arkansas, and there wasn't a fence in sight. All the fences were down in a hollow. So I pulled the trailer to the center where there was a tree to prop the door open at a ninety instead of all the way open and we went to chasing cows until they were so exhausted that they went into the trailer.

I told him I'd pay him the price he expected to get at the sale barn for them... less what I was going to charge him for hauling them and he agreed. That way we'd save the commission. And then later on I found out he thought I was cheating him because I charged the hauling fee after chasing his cows around for half the morning.
 
@TCRanch we need to post a link in the coffee shop or another section that gets more traffic when the next month's subject comes out. I bet I'm not the only one who forgets. What you think?
I try to periodically bump it up. If you look at What's New, it shows all the recent threads. I could post the contest & subsequent poll in the coffee shop. If I remember.
