[QUOTE="Bama, post: 275690, member: 1184"] When I was a kid the corral system we used left a lot to be desired in the saftey department. When I built mine I designed them with safety in mind. Most cows can be worked slowly and quitely, which will prevent a lot of trainwrecks. If you have one that is prone to breaking ignort I try to leave it for last as to not get the others upset. When it comes time to get the one with the fireball up its butt through the chute I have found it is better to keep it moving until the last minute. At that point you need to have all your ducks in a row. A lot of accidents can be prevented with 3 things - proper facilities, planning, and planning. Did I mention planning? Yeah,you will still have the freak accidents and have to expect and watch for those situtations as well. Proper facilities will cut down on the risk tremendously. As far as which is worse heifers or bulls I'll throw another into the mix. 5-600 pound calves can be a ball of snot as well. They as more agile and not as settled down as the older ones, just like your average teenager. At least they don't ask to borrow the car nearly as often. [/QUOTE]
