dont know if it will help much ,but the easiest way to work cattle,any cattle, day in and day out,is to catch them ALL then let loose what you dont want.Unless you have a good cutting horse,and lots of times even then,trying to catch one out of the herd will do nothing but eventually get you hurt.MY advice to you and anyone else.Spend the money now ,that you will spend on dr bills later,and build you some cattle working pens.Honestly,with the proper pens one man can work more cattle in a days time than 20 could otherwise.And heres another tip,take those portable corrral panels stack them up out of the way and forget them!they will get you killed!!!they are regardless of what ANYONE tells you not made to simply stand up together,they are made to be placed between solid posts.they are portable only in that you have your posts in different places and move the panels as you set up pens.by haveing posts between those panels you can expand your pens,move gates etc as needed,thats all.If you ever run on to a truly MEAN bull or cow,one that quite honestly out to get you, not get a feed sack from you,it wont take but about one minute to figure out the difference in a real pen and one of those.youve just seen what a scared little heifer will do with one,a really mean cow or bull will go through them like a semitruck and not even slow down.Most folks have never really seen a mean cow,the think ones mean if it blows a little snot on you,but a truly mean cow will attack you anytime anywhere it gets a chance,you dont have to provoke it,and its not fooling around it means to if at all possible kill you..odd thing is you can raise cattle in the same herd for years and never have one, and them all the sudden a crazy one will turn up, when it does you better be ready to shoot it,or have a pen thats built to hold it.youve got to wait for that heifer to settle down anyway,spend the time setting some posts.once you get her loaded take her to town,use that money to pay for your pens.
