    there is one major difference....today the herds havent had the big block of time to build up or the big areas at back of nowhere to do it...we are so much more mobile these days...eg big station shepherds zip out back on side by side in hour at most...what used to be days ride on horse... places werent visited for months on end,now get "seen' on regular basis.
    but 100% agree the chopper is the ultimate control tool......controlling the use of the tool for maximum benifit for all is the tricky bit.
