[QUOTE="Stonewall Joe, post: 1848356, member: 41433"] I think a big mistake a lot of people make is they only put cattle in a pen or send them down an alley when it's time to doctor or load. I understand that if you have a lot of cattle. We will usually top out at about 40 or 50 head so it's easier for me but I try to make a point of feeding the cattle in the catch pen a time or 2 a month and quietly move from one sorting pen to the other, then push them into the bud box and let them walk down the chute slowly and not try to catch one. I find that when we do that they're usually not hard to pen and they will head down the chute. I try to get rid of the crazies early on. I have the tall 24' long "portable" panels now instead of our old makeshift catch system and that makes it easier too but even our old set up was 6' tall to discourage most jumping. I understand also it's abit of a pain to do it this way but just penning them up every once in a while makes it to catch them [/QUOTE]
