I know this is a tractor forum, but I also know there's a lot of knowledge here about cattle.
I would like to here from you folks who have used and/or know someone who does, have one of those 'dart' guns for medicating cattle. I don't know anyone who had used one. I have done some research, and obviously every manufacturer claims to be the best.
The are many variations of firing the 'dart'; cross bows, long bows, rifles, pistols, blowguns :shock: , but the primary purpose for my use would be if I had a single cow that needed medicated, I can see some advantage to being able to drive out and shoot, versus trying to single one from the herd into the working pen/shoot, which might be a half mile away.
The 'dart guns' I have seen on the web generally offer a 20-50 foot range, which is plenty for me.
Any comments or suggestions appreciated. Initial cost is not as much a factor for me as function, reliability, and continued cost of replacement items
