[QUOTE="Andyva, post: 1241669, member: 1022"] We had one years ago that turned out to be a real good jumper. Angus bull, threw real nice calves. First year he was OK. Second year he started jumping. We kept putting him up and adding strands of wire, and then taller posts. We got up to about 6 feet and he would still get out. I didn't say he could clear a six foot fence, but he could clear enough of it that he ended up on the other side. He would put his chin up to it and then back up and get a running start, jumped like a deer. Last time we just gave up and left him with the cows. Then he started going to the neighbors place. We loaded him on an old truck and brought him back and unloaded him on a ramp. The next time we just made him jump off the back out in the field, figuring that he could handle that just fine. The trip after that we backed up to a sinkhole with a rockpile in it. Hoped maybe if he twisted an ankle it might help him not want to jump so much. He was just fine. The next time we put him on the truck we went to market. That taught him. [/QUOTE]
