[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16218"] Thanks Becky & Linda for your "reinforcement" that the training/learning notion of "Positive Reinforcement" works! We work our Longhorns, especially the calves & yearlings, sometimes monthly to measure horn, weigh, etc. We can get them into the corral, and chute without problems and always bait them with goodies before, during, and after their being worked. Also let some wander through the corral and chutes on their own in their personal leisure time. Our chutes and corral are NOT perceived as being a threat or punishment--but, as one more place to get food goodies and wander around on their own. We have also been able to "cut out" one or more calves, bulls, or cows by calling their name and using treats. They will also respond to hand signals in some cases. As John Lyons continually promotes with his horse training, the objective is to not hurt the horse, not get hurt yourself, and for you and the horse to be calmer after training: I feel these principles also apply to cattle.
