We have some extremely aggressive cattle that have a history of hurting people. I got hurt recently while having to get the mean thing to a sale barn. It had already hurt another guy the same week and tried to knock me down earlier that same morning he was injured.
I won’t be caught off guard another time. There are no do-overs after being killed or critically injured. From now on when we have any hard to handle cattle at the sorting pens or even while on horseback, I’ll be packing some iron. There have been at least two people life flighted from the ranch because of aggressive cattle. The first guy will never be the same again. He can’t work due to the injuries sustained.
Was thinking maybe a 44 mag holstered pistol would be good while sorting in pens and corrals. But on horseback I’ll also keep a rifle handy too. More than one guy here has been knocked off a horse by a cow or bull. I refuse to be caught defenseless in these type situations. I’ve been using a 45-70 rifle.
What do you guys suggest for pistol and what type ammo? I really dont want to pack a really nice pistol, because it’ll surely get banged up.
