It works using a few basic cattle stockmanship principles. Stress causes cattle to react. Handling stress is created by the pressure of the handler entering or exiting the cattle’s flight zone. The increase and r...

Something snapped on Saturday when the Bulldogs hosted the Rams from Merino on the baseball diamond. Both teams entered game one of two on the day's schedule with undefeated records and holding the top two spots in the league as well as State rankings. That all changed when Haxtun took down Merino, 4-1, in game one, breaking the Rams winning streak.
