[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1193717, member: 22072"] Back when we were just starting out, we used a whip. A 4 ft rod with braided string the whole length with a tassel on the end that would whip. Around the 90s, solid sticks could be bought. They were better, if you need to wonk someone on the head, it would be enough to turn them back, unlike the fluffy whip. We use them to move cattle, to keep anyone from turning back. When we sort cows from calves, it helps to turn back a calf and let the cow by. If moving into a pen, you can use the stick, unlike the whip, to jab in the side to keep them moving yet keeping you out of kicking range. I find that if you just point the stick at a cow, she's not likely going to come your way, (but not all the time). We use them mostly for jabbing forward, extending you as a barrier and a occasional wonk on the nose if they try to break out and keeping you out of kicking range.. [/QUOTE]
