[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2200"] We only use it when we have to because it does make an animal jumpy. It would be cruelty if you were prodding them while they’re in a head gate. But if you’re trying to load a cow or bull that has somewhere to go (down the chute) and just wants to sull, it’s not cruel. It’s motivation. Sometimes there is not any way to get an animal moving except to apply some persuasion. We’ve used quirts in the past and they can be handy also, but a prod is much easier when working through the side of a chute. As far at make and model go, I would not spend a bunch of money, but get something that's made fairly well. They tend to get broken. Can't remember any brands off hand. Craig-TX [/QUOTE]
