[QUOTE="VCC, post: 684149, member: 6399"] Since your calf sounds like it is gentle here is a couple of things, make sure your hand is not right at the end of the halter, should have around 18 to 22 inches of lead between your hand and the halter, most calves walk better if they have a little slack in the rope. We never win when we play tug of war with them. The last steer we had would walk if you pulled up at a 45% angle and released, to get him started we had to pull & release, pull and release a few times and he would walk. Just pull, the brakes came on. Try walking him somewhere new, even the calves that walk well give you fits if it is something they do not want to do. [/QUOTE]
