| LOL Rich! Perhaps I should have worded that different. Maybe I should have said cows are used to tractors and pickups and have no inherent fear of them. How 'bout that? ;-)
You and I are just gonna hafta agree to disagree on the rattle paddles. They are the tool/weapon of choice for me. I like paddles because they are reasonably durable and a guy can be agressive, or not, with them as needed. The paddle I got now has a crack. Moisture gets in it and sometimes the rattles freeze and don't work. That's a high tech problem I can usually solve by whacking it on the ground a couple times.
Paddles are highly visible and audible to the cattle when needed, more so than a plain whip. Conversely, it can be kept close at side when there is a need to be subtle. Paddles are the only thing that remotely works with sheep, but sheep is probably a whole new topic.
Most popular around here are the flag whips it seems but they are not durable enough to suit me. I like them best on the road for flagging traffic when moving cattle on the road, especially orange or brightly colored ones. | |
