    If only the celtic tiger roared for another few years, we could all be herding like that.
    In the meantime the Trooper my do!
    You'd have to laugh at the voice over.........1200lb MONSTERS
    445kg don't sound quite as glamourous!

    I would be awfully surprised if every animal picked up was landed without injury .

    Thats the most cruel stupid thing Ive seen in a long time.
    Cruel to the animal to be suspended that height hanging by a leg.
    I would imagine their ligaments in their ankles must be strained from all that weight on their ankle.
    Plus they must have some rope to hold that weight. I wouldagree with poster above that I wouldnt think they are all brought down safely.

    Thirdly so much for health and safety. re man tied onto the underside of the chopper.

    would the weight of the 1200 lb bull not pull the hellicopter down?

    I was checking heifers early one morning for signs of heat when the alarm on my phone went off as it was on snooze. The minute it went off all the heifers in the 2.5 acre paddock gathered around me. A few days after I was bringing them in for dosing so I stood at the gap put the ring tone of my phone on loud and all the heifers came to the gap :) In case any of you want to try it out the ringtone was the theme tune from the high chaparral ;)
