[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 1740861, member: 8202"] I'll see if I can get a couple pictures today to show you. The one board that moves is attached at the bottom, loosely, with a carriage bolt and lock nut, so it can still move back and forth, then there's a block thing at the top that drops down and holds that board over when there's a cow in there. My crafty hubby even hinged another small block of wood onto the larger piece, so it's adjustable, to a point. I had one fat neck cow and one skinny neck before, so we had to make it work for both of them. Once you see a picture, that will all make sense. ;) Miss Spoiled Rotten got her first lesson in spanking stick last night, too! I'm getting tired of pushing on her butt to get her to go inside at night, so I got my trusty spanking stick (short riding crop) and just tapped her butt and she went. When she tried to veer off just before the door, I just tapped her shoulder to keep her from moving that direction, and in the door she went, no problem. I'ma do that from now on. ;) MUCH easier than pushing on a spoiled little girl who doesn't want to go inside. I love that spanking stick. Even when my girls would get to be the size of a rhinoceros, they still respected that weenie little crop. That 2,600 pound steer we had was askeered of it, too, and I don't think I EVER hit him with it. Go figure. Sometimes, all I had to do was have it in my hand and they'd say, "HOW HIGH?" LOL! And it's great for encouraging them up into a trailer, and much kinder (in my mind) than the tail-twisting that most of my neighbors use. When I need both hands, I stick the handle end into my boot or back pocket and it's out of the way, but still handy if I need it quick. :) Her two most important skills are going to be getting in the stanchion without a fuss, and moving along when I tap her with the crop, and she's learning fast. We already have the "come when called" down pat. All I have to do is shake the pellet can, and she comes running. :ROFLMAO: [/QUOTE]
