[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 726887, member: 6543"] dittoes for an outstanding and informative post. I have a neighbor lady who has a small herd and all her cows are halter broke and she does not have a chute at all. If you got 5 grand itching to find a new home I would be happy to sell you somthing but if you get decent cows as advised by novatech and handle them gently and humanely you can get by with just a good gate mounted thirty inches from a corner and do everthing short of tattoing a mature animal. (There should be no reason to have to tattoo a mature animal.) now that i am back down to a hobby herd just to keep me broke and off the street I intend to halter break every calf at weaning. Bulls and heifers. The cows I have let are all gentle and can be petted anywhere in the field. They come to call. I have been a cattleman and a cowboy for fifty years. I have worked cows horseback all day long. I have used good cattle dogs. I have roped and wrassled bulls to deal with em. I have had good horses knocked out from under me. I been stomped and trampled and horned. I survived and ain't nobody out there can embarass me about my few little cows being pets. I have cows now becasue I like em and I like em a lot better when they are easy to get along with. One thing I have learned is that with cows Slower is both Better and Faster. [/QUOTE]
