Are you prepared for that spring to go off every time you walk behind that animal. You don't have to be behind them ether. They can get you off to the side. You are right about culling for disposition, but a hot shot won't improve dispoition. Don't get me wrong, there are instances were a hot shot has its use. It is the convenient misuse that me and some of the other posts disapprove. My dad and I used to share a Hereford bull and all we had to do was drive the trailer out in the field and honk the horn. Good luck with all those bulls! >Rod [/QUOTE]
