[QUOTE="Ridgefarmer63, post: 1513914, member: 23951"] UPDATE: Went by yesterday morning, set up trailer in pasture with a corral off the back. Threw some hay and grain, went to work. Came by after work , threw some more grain, hung out with them for a while eventually both calves came in. One calf was definetly more jumpy than the other. Slowly shut corral gate all the while talking in soothing voice. Then I got in corral. All five of us did a few graceful dance moves and then they all went in trailer. All cattle finally back home. I think the biggest thing is patience, which we ALL know. On our farm, I walk with our herd every night. I call them and they follow me, very rarly do I have to push them. Usually just to get them in trailer they need a little nudge. I don't think I would hesitate to put these two cow calf pairs in another remote pasture. We all know you can't be in a hurry, but sometimes we are. Cows will cure that character flaw for you. Thanks for all the ideas and encouragement folks ! [/QUOTE]
