[bigo]

I have trained and used both on cows. For gentle cattle on fairly open ground where you need three men to make the job easy, one man and a good Border Collie can do the job just as easy. On wilder cattle, especially in the woods, good curs are hard to beat and my choice for the job.
    When I was training cutting horses, I kept a good Border Collie around because of the many uses I had. I used them to pen, turn back, load cattle, push the chutes. I had one that was the best help I ever had to load unbroke colts. The horses stayed calm and I could load six as fast as I could load one with human help.
