[QUOTE="Kelly, post: 151681, member: 314"] I agree with all the advise you have gotten. Especially the corral system & being able to sort them out by yourself. That is one problem that I have had enough of ( being run over by a cow ten to fifteen time bigger then me that doesn't want to go where I want it to). Be real sure to pick very docile cows to begin with. The one thing you want to think about is with cow/calf the problems you can have with calving. It is terribly dissapointing to lose a cow or calf so, make sure you read all you can get your hands on about calving before you need the information & make good notes to look back at frequently when you want to reassure yourself or know when to get help. Very good mineral program & vaccinations will help support a healthy herd. Train them to come up for feeding to the corral at least once a day even just for a treat so when you need to pen them up they will be alot easier to persuade. But also always let them know You are the boss, not them so they don't get pushy around you. Good luck [/QUOTE]
