That's been the most rewarding part about trying to improve my horses and my riding... the lighter my horses become, the lighter my cattle are to handle. I am no way near where I want to be with them, but it's a kick trying to figure it out, and seeing small improvements along the way

.
In regards to "setting things up and letting them happen", I've got a pesky bull who's located in heavy brush, three miles from the corral and/or a clearing I can get a trailer near. My first instinct is to try and trail him out, but I don't think I'd make it... He has way too many brushing up opportunities. I may try and trail some cows to him, and then try to trail him out with them (where's a cow in heat when you need her?!), or I may just have to wait it out until he starts looking for company again. I just know it would be sooo easy for him to learn how to completely brush up, and I wouldn't have a prayer getting him

He may end up wintering on the forest if his attitude doesn't change

. Life is too short to have a bull ruin your day :wink: .
