[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1055527, member: 17767"] Don't you guys forget, I was raised on a farm just have been away from it most of my life. My Dad had horses and cows. I have seen him hit them with anything that he could grab. If he was breaking a team of horses which he loved to do, they better back up when he said back. If it was a 2x4 that he got his hands on, before he was done, there would be blood running from their noses. To be honest, despite a lifetime of handling stock, I cannot say he was that good at it. He was loading a couple cows from the hay barn. The hay barn has a driveway that runs from one side to the other (crosswise not from end to end). On one end of the barn was a hay loft that was about 4 to 5 feet above grade. The cows were balking at going into the trailer. He started beatin them with a tobacco stick. One of the cows jumped into the loft. Now that is a sight I never thought I would see. He got up there and began to beat her again. When the cow lunched itself down she did a spread eagle. Sad sight. I thought see would never get up. She did and I never even saw a limp. They are tough. My dad always enjoyed his livestock but I never saw him pet them or show any affection for an animal. In fact, my brother and I were commenting recently that we never saw him pet the dogs. [/QUOTE]
