I got a 9 month old blanck angus heifer that I'm trying to move out of the herd, and she's really trying my patience. Five of us spent Saturday afternoon trying to get her penned up in the corner of the pasture, and she's not going for it. We got her cornered once, and when I pulled the corral panels around her, she rammed into the panels and dragged them back into the pasture, with me trying to hold them back (didn't have them chained to the gate pole, my fault.) We put the panels back and tried again, and she eventually jumped thru a 4-stand HT fence, then over an ATV to get back to the wooded pasture.
I moved 4 steer calves last weekend without a problem by moving the herd through the corner gate and into a paddock where I have a temporary alley and squeeze chute. She wouldn't follow the herd into there then either, but now it's just gotten worse. If I can get her into the squeeze chute, then I can get her in the trailer and off to another pasture, to be butchered next year.
Any ideas on how I can coax this ornery little SOB into a corral? Prime alfalfa and feed aren't working. It's like she's convinced that she will be dead if she goes through that gate. When we push her, instead of going to the corner and standing there, she turns and runs back at us. Her momma is in the herd, but she appears to have been weaned off of her on her own. The bull is still in the herd, so I'd like to get her out soon before I have an extra calf this fall.
