Fred,
These were called "cattle prods". The ones I am familiar with (law enforcement use) are battery powered and will certainly MOOOVE you. Chuck Hladik |

Seriously, there had to be a device used by drovers, crew members, etc., to "urge" cattle not to lay down in the cars. A stick with a point in the end sounds good, yet I would like to hear from someone who has more definitive knowledge.

Chuck,
Energized batons are effective for crowd control, absolutely. My question is more in line with the time frame of moving cattle in the 30's to 50's, well before shock bats, and tazers. Can any lister provide cattle management tools from the era stated? TIA Fred Freitas RUTLANDRS@... wrote: Fred, These were called "cattle prods".

I know they had cattle prods in the late 40s as I saw them in use.

Also you when loading sheep you use a judas goat. The sheep will follow it even to slaughter. Thank you Larry Jackman Boca Raton FL ljack70117@... On Dec 20, 2006, at 8:04 AM, Frederick Freitas wrote:

Cattle prods were around in the late 40's. Stock truck drivers carried one for sure.

We didn't have one. a 2x4 worked well on hogs. cattle usually followed the leader. However the 2x4 also worked. A bit before my time my dad herded pigs about a mile and an half to the Milw RR to ship them to Chicago. A short gate panel helped keep the hogs moving in the right direction. I think herding hogs is close to hearding chicken . HUM maybe cats. Ron Christensen --- In STMFC@..., ljack70117@... wrote:
