Gator Word of advise they can be a pain at times,however if you do decide to go into the Cattle business don't be a cowboy that's for movies with John wayne. The trick is to train the cattle to be led not herded. When you feed them use a call, truck horn, holer, bell, what ever. Even if they get out it is easier to get them back by simiple calling them in not chasing them in. I learned this from my Grand Dad growing up as a plow boy not a cowboy. I holer "suck cow, suck cow...." They come running and you better be ready.
