Thanks folks for all the constructive comments. We will get them.
Bryant, go to be nice. Move out of your parents basement and get a real job. (not trying to start a cyber fight, but that needed a response)
Sorry folks, couldn't help myself.
don't worry I don't live in the parents basement mater of fact we own several properties free and clear. Childish remarks never have bothered me and they never will.
back to the question I gave you some good advice
build a corral to pen them in , feed them in it and fix a loading gate and DONT RUN THEM TO EXHUSTION. But you don't want good advice instead you was mad wanting to vent.
as you said ''any ideas welcome'' as long as it is something that does not hurt or go against your idea. You will find there is people on this site that will tell you what you want to hear and others that will tell you the truth regardless even if its not something you want to hear. You will not find very many people that own very many cattle or have worked very many cows that will tell you the way to work cows is to run them till they can't run any more then grab/lasso them. I am 54 yrs. old and my family raised cattle ,Brahman cross, for many years before my time and NEVER was I taught that way to handle cattle but MAYBE you have a great way to work them. Please take some video and pictures as I would sure like to see how it works. My way I can take a feed sack and lead these ol Brahman cross cattle for a long ways or take my saddle mule and pen them but you start running them with a four wheeler they will scatter over the next two counties.
Good luck, hope it all works out good for you.
