If you've got better dogs we need to see proof. Wow!

I have never had a good cow dog so I'm guessing here. Does the cattle actually need to be trained to the dogs also. Not sure how that's done but I'm sure some of you will understand what I'm asking.Brute 23":3amhqdp1 said:I watch those videos all the time and its cool no doubt.

Just easier to train the herd with cubes and cull those that don't play well.

That's not as easy as it sounds with bigger herds. Had 60 puppy dog gentle heifers calve next to the house during the bad weather. 9 of em turned into sprinters who dive into culverts as soon as they had a calf.

TT look at some of her other videos out on the mountain. No cussing, no group of ten or more guys on horseback with the dogs, or any of the other stuff that goes on here. Just the dog moving a group with no commotion.
Glad your boss lady didn't have that attitude. You're old cantankerous azz would have been out picking up cans for a living 50 years ago. :lol2: :lol: :hide:Caustic Burno":39s3s3tw said:JWBrahman":39s3s3tw said:Caustic Burno":39s3s3tw said:Just easier to train the herd with cubes and cull those that don't play well.

That's simple 9 culls you actually think dogs are going to make that type of cattle easier to work. You might break a cow to a dog but you never take the fight or flight out of one ate up with it.
Like I said 9 culls due to disposition.
