Dap":34c4ta5t said:I had a few reasonable brangus cows, but a lot more that were crazy. Most of them were ok until a gate was shut behind them, then things would get ugly. I had my best luck working them when I was by myself, and if they weren't going to the barn like I wanted I had to give up early. I've managed to get rid of most of them and all the really bad ones are gone, one by a dart gun and two by rope. The worst brangus I ever had would never go near the barn when I was around, and she could smell a trap a mile away. I caught her by shutting off all the water except the one at the barn. I closed the gate to the barn and once a day I would open it when the cows were good and thirsty and then I would hide. After 3 days without water she finally came in.
Heck I had to shoot one 30 years ago that jerked a horse from under me , big bull dang thing would fight anything anytime or anyplace.That was the meanest SOB I ever dealt with.
I still like Brangus.
