[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1849155, member: 6291"] You are right on that. When I go work cattle for my dad some of the cattle will try to fight the flag. You will see me twirling the flag to wrap it up. I had a heifer a while back squaring up and I popped that flag in her face to try and call her bluff. She came with it with out hesitation. 😄 I had to just get a good ways away in on foot and make her run in circles with a couple other big calves in the pen until they went in the chute. Kind of a last resort deal. I can keep some distance behind them though and get that flag the pop. It's like machine gun bursts. It keeps them moving. With my dad you never get in a close space with the cattle. They don't respect you and see it more as aggression. So like the pen leading to the chute, you close the gate and defend it. Most of the time if you back off and give them time to think they will head up the chute. If not, you have to get a person or two on the outside to start a sweep from the back. [/QUOTE]
