Took a friend out to the auction last night, and she bought three steers- two to feed out and one fat. They loaded easy at the auction, but one went nutso on the way back. They don't have any really good handling chutes, and the two to be fed were turned out into a pasture with two other steers. But the fed out one was supposed to go into a pen, got loose in a horse stall barn that was converted fron an old loafing shed. He was charging us, pinned me against a wall, ran over her husband and hired man, and finally took about five hours to con into a stall with some water. The sliding door was reinforced with five stakes at the bottom and a steel gate across the front to try to keep him from pushing it apart ( he tore up the tack room and another stall that had the gate open). And the stall where he is is going to be real fun to try to reload onto a trailer.
Guess my question is, will he calm down enough with some time to handle him safely? He's 1200#, and quicker than all four of us put together. I've had a couple over the years that have been nutso, but I've got fairly good facilities to handle them. This one scared me, and there is really nothing up there to handle him short of a 30-06. And the butchers frown on that now....Any ideas and rude comments accepted...

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
