    Electric dog collars?

    The tri tronics collars are great tools..Never use it when you are angry with the dog! Be sure the dog understands what you are doing with it. If you are teaching voice commands and the dog understands them but just ignores you...it will work. LIke stopping the dog from jumping at the horses...

    Question for the Ranchers

    I had just as soon shoot a cow, out in the pasture as to hunt in a high fence situation, but that has nothing to do with what the real question is here! Every time the government gets into the "land use" or "land owners rights" we lose! Why do we, as a people, tend to neglect everything that we...

    Lets talk buckaroo...........

    Just while we are on the subject of what a man (or woman) working cattle is called....I knew some West Texas hands years ago that would fight if you called them a Puncher, or cowpuncher.....They said that a Cowpoke, or cow puncher was a salebarn hand, or a feed lot hand, and "poked or punched...

    Enviromentalists and hay

    I know little about the oil business, except they are breaking me at the pump. I also know that the alcohol made with all the corn that is being grown will be sent to the OIL COMPANIES to mix with gasoline or Diesel fuel. So if I have this strait..we are selling OIL Companies ..the alcohol that...

    Any place left to gather cattle?

    I like to keep one or two dogs that really have lots of stop to them. They are the best thing going to get a wild bunch of cattle to stand up and circle up. The E-collar is good to have on some that really have some bite to them. We catch a few cattle here for the Sheriff's Dept. and that kind...

    Any place left to gather cattle?

    Two Ropes..... I will keep you in mind if I need some more dogs. Those dogs like you use are awful good at their job. (the East Texas curs, I am talkin about) Some of those I had were too good...they would hold up cattle too much sometimes..but they were the best to dog break a bunch with.and...

    Any place left to gather cattle?

    Question, Thanks for that suggestion. That sounds like a place a man could kinda get a feel for what life was like a 100 yrs ago. If I was young and single I might drag up there and see if I could stay a while. I bet that is some pretty country. TwoRopes....I appreciate your suggestion. We get...

    Any place left to gather cattle?

    Thanks for the offer, AZ. I will keep that in mind. That sounds like what I was talkin about. I do like to gather a few at a time with these dogs. Sometimes you can get into some cattle that will work great if you just let the dogs work them for an hour or two. Some of the wilder cattle do...

    Any place left to gather cattle?

    Is there any place left in the country that a man can take a set of good dogs and go gather cattle, for maybe a month at a time? Work maybe by the head? I am talking about hunting cattle that have been missed by the normal gather, or just could not be penned in the normal gather! I am not asking...

    Tie,or dally?

    I have always ridden with a knife in my right back pocket. One that I can open with one hand, and that I can get to with chaps on. I also got one in my left front pocket, just in case I am unable to get to the one in the right back! I am not too proud to use either, for what ever I need loose...

    Tie,or dally?

    Here is the most honest answer here. I do not tie hard and fast becasue that way I can give my rope to someone that really needs it! We usually only rope on cattle that are outside, or in brush in some big pastures! I try to keep the best dogs I can keep so that makes my roping like a Booth at...

    Question....you mentioned the Bio fuel that the government seems to be trying to sell us here in the US as a great deal and a "fix" for our oil cost problems! Where is the alcohol that is produced going to go?? I have been told it is going to an OIL Refinery....(bought by them) and added to...

    amendment would permit horse slaughter

    I have seen this horse slaughter situation from all sides. I can not believe that the "Tree Huggers" can mean so well..but be so cruel to a horse. I am sure that they mean well, and feel that they are doing the right thing, but I cannot believe that the Law-makers and general population would...

    U.S. RANCHERS BAN ON CA BEEF WINS APPEAL

    Kato You are absolutely right! We have been raped by corporate America, and sold out by our own government! While a lot of American producers are looking for the "Band-Wagon" to jump on, we are being lead down the chute to slaughter like the SHEEP so many cattlemen have turned into! If we do...

    Would you or would you pass....

    Judith You are letting us all down here! What I want you to do is to get this mare, and do the "lay her down, tie her up and do the dominance thing!" If you would do that it would be very educational for us all. It is talked about everywhere, and this would be a great "case study" for us all...
