[QUOTE="Bez?, post: 251241, member: 4151"] Cattle that feel under pressure will attempt to go over AND under panels. This is normal. Suspect this animal has serious containment issues and she will go for you if she is unable to retreat. I would suggest she was a bit worked up - not snot slinging, but head up and eyes wide. I have seen them try to go under heavy boards and push to the point the boards are broken. Usually start this by getting down on their knees and pushing any spot in hopes of finding a weakness - it is simply a desire to "get out". She will require panel walls that are anchored. It may be a long time before you catch her again so you have time to set them up. I just put a few T posts in around the panels and tie them with some rope. Beware - when she finds she cannot lift the panels - she WILL likely make a serious attempt to go over. This is why I always preach at least one SOLID pen with 6 foot or better walls - no boards on top - a rail is best - it will not break. This one travels asap IMO. Good luck on the next trap. Bez?
