[QUOTE="VCC, post: 1246135, member: 6399"] We keep calves tied, and walk to water and feed to halter break (and only on the hard headed ones), once their halter broke we only tie/stall them all day the last 3 months before the fair (this is to get hair on them) They are kicked out in a big pen to move and relax at night. Calves will be waiting at the gate once it gets warm, they would rather be tied in a stall where it is cool and no flies then out in the pen all day.

Then move them to the wash rack, another 15-30 minutes with head up, then blow them out, another 30 to 60 minutes with the head up, That’s close to 2 hours with the head tied up. We do rinse and work them daily, seems to really tame then down, the more time you spend with them the easier they get to work with.
