[QUOTE="gabby, post: 94883, member: 553"] No 4-wheelers for me. I use old electric golf carts stepped up to 48 volts so they're pretty fast. They will turn on a dime, better than a 4-wheeler, and a lot cheaper too. I have two '83 models with box beds on the back and they cost me under $1000 each converted including the box. They were dead when I bought them for about $200 each. A local golf cart guy converted them for me. The key to moving cows is this - nearly every day I go out with a bucket of cubes and check on the cows and toss them some cubes. They watch for the golf cart now and they spy me as soon as I come into view. They will get all over me and the cart if I let them, and they will follow it anywhere. When it's time to move 'em or pen 'em, I use one golf cart and a caller as the lead cart, and another golf cart and a barker as the rear pusher. Newborn calves go in the box bed with their feet hog tied. Pickup truck stays in the shed burning no $2 gas, and no worries about 4-wheelers flipping over. gabby [/QUOTE]
