Tenny and I saddled up and rode the neighbors pasture across the river. The owner has a hot wire on his side of the river, but in the fall he lets the renter take it down and lets the cows have the river bank and all the grass on the other side. Well those cows worked a hole in a low spot next to a creek and about 26 pairs were mixed in with my cows. Tenny and didn't find any of ours and we rode thru our meadows pushing the cows up to the corrals so we could preg and bleed tomorrow. We got them is and spent 2 hours cutting out the neighbors we let them out of the back corral and we couldn't get in head of the dirty buggers. We got them back across the river but they never went thru one gate they went thru the fence 5 different places broke up into 3 bunches.
So late tomorrow , then the next day Tenny and I will be fixing fence.
The neighbor must use a 4 wheeler and a bull whip...
 
We had some limos of a neighbors get with our cows one time. We were going to corral them but they just out ran our cows so we cut ours off and chased his out a gate and down the hiway. They ran along the fence for a mile then one by one jumped back into his pasture. :roll: :lol:

Years back when Leachmans first got the big racehorse high Salers and were promoting them our neighbor bought a trailer load or two of bulls and they were always in with our cows (five wire fence meant nothing)....

The only good thing, is as soon as you rode in to cut them out they threw their heads in the air and took off, making it easy to cut out- and as soon as you got them going down a fenceline or to a fence-- they cleared it, so you never had to get off to open a gate...Perfect cattle for an old fat man..... :wink:

I understand in the years since the Saler breed has worked on dispositions- but boy they had a ways to go....
 
I heard a guy say once that the only reason to own Salers was if you wanted to ride them to catch Limos. :D
A neighbor of ours had about 250 Salers cross cows, good mamas, and excellent cattle to work as long as you stayed quiet with them. You could pretty much just open gates and hope you could get them closed before too many crowded into the next pen.
One loudmouth on the crew and look out. :shock:
 
I help presort calves for the auction mart-we grade and sort a couple thousand a week-if people only new how much crappy dispositioned cattle cost them they'd be alot more careful on selecting for it. We don't see enough saler or limo cattle for them to be a factor-but on the average high % simmi's are by far the worse-hopefully a couple more bad winters and they'll be extinct. We can sort a triload of Hereford or baldie cattle ion about half the time with no resorts-some straight blacks aren't too bad either.
 
Our neighbors west of us on the allotment are great guys but they kinda rush their cows ecerywhere they take em'. They winter where i live and they always move em' with 4 wheelers at a long trot. Unless they are in 3rd gear they are movin' to slow. :wink: When we ride in our west summer pastures we can sure tell which cows are ours. We'll top out on a ridge and our cows will see us, drop their heads and go to grazing again. The strays will jerk up their heads like scared prariedogs, throw their tails over their backs and head for daylight! It does make the sortin' easy! :D To each their own! :D
