Looking for input on everyone's opinions on the best brand of electric cattle prod. I've got an aggressive ram (7 years old) who may need more "persuasion" than a squirt bottle of vinegar water will provide. If it weren't that he is a member of a critically endangered breed and has valuable genetics, he'd already be on his way to freezer camp. (as it is, I keep telling him that when he gets older and doesn't perform well, I'll have his head mounted on the wall and his hide turned into a rug! LOL)
Tractor supply sells decent ones with different length wands. If you use one, tell him no, then a quick zap on the meaty area of the thigh. They learn quickly! He will try and run away. It hurts and scares them. He is a beautiful ram.
They are all pretty much the same. I'll see what brand mine is. But I suggest getting the short stick, it's a hog stick. It's a little hard to get the long one to get anything that is super close to you. I used mine when I would pour the grain. At first I had the long one and after a miss and I got my leg I got the short stick lol
Sorry Jessica84, I had to laugh when I read that you got your leg! It's not funny, but ...... I got mine once too! It sure lights you up!
Oh no once I got over the screaming and cursing I had to laugh about it too lol same thing with the hot fence. I had a evil laugh once I got it up because they would start respecting my fence, yeah I've lost track of how many times I've been nailed by it....karma? Yeah probably lol
I was in TSC once and didn't realize that the prods were "hot" and trying to be funny, I prodded myself thinking I'd act like I got a shock, and needless to say, I didn't have to to act. Kids thought it was funny! Last time I went near one!
