[QUOTE="Rosielou, post: 1152853, member: 17488"] Anyone have any advice for getting a stubborn calf up? :roll: I have a bull calf I need to take to the sale but he just won't go in the corral. He is not skittish, very calm tempered and his momma is probably my gentlest cow so I can lead her anywhere easily with a handful of feed. I have my cows to where they will go in the corral for cubes easily, but sometimes it's like they know I need them up and refuse to cooperate. :? I have had a very easy time so far getting past calves up so I guess it's time for a tough one. Last week I left the momma in over night hoping he would come when he wanted to nurse. He wouldn't go in then, just lingered, so I let her out the next day before I went to the sale. I waited a week to feed them cubes so they would be greedier for them, and I have her up again hoping he decides to go in later today or tomorrow morning. He is still lingering around the corral. Any other ideas I could try? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
