[QUOTE="OwnedByTheCow, post: 1608247, member: 22477"] You have to be the tough guy first so that you can be the nice guy later. Smack him in the nose when he acts up. NOT on his poll. I try to tell people not to rub their poll area. That's a bad habit to learn. As mentioned he's probably going to need a buddy. He's lonely. Having another buddy gives him competition to eat as well. He will eat more knowing that someone else is eating too. Walk him EVERY SINGLE DAY. As long as there is no ice on the ground. Walk him when it's raining. Walk him when it's dark out too. Expose him to different scenarios. When I show, one fair may be in a lighted tent at night. Meaning that my cows have to get used to walking into a lighted area from a dark area. And vice versa. I always suggest picking up Temple Grandins book on livestock behavior. It give a lot of perspective for showmen to see about their animals. [/QUOTE]
