[QUOTE="grubbie, post: 612871, member: 5478"] A lot of calves will fall to the back as the herd moves through the gate. For this reason, as the first couple cows start to move through I push the back of the herd harder to keep everyone moving forward at a good speed, calves and all. This is for a large herd, by the way. If you do have a few calves hanging back, just back off and don't try to push them, its a losing battle. They will usually turn around a few times and then follow the herd if they are left alone and can still see the herd. If your gate is not in a corner, move it to one, or build a little wing fence. Otherwise you will fight them every time. Just how we do things, works for us. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
