[QUOTE="Jasmine, post: 937710, member: 18980"] I have done steer every year of 4h and this is my last year so i have gotten comfortable around them even the crazy ones when i see something going wrong i jump in and help...the worse thing to do is give up.... i know you dont want to get hurt or your son but you can not give up one thing that you shouldnt have done was let him in with the others because they reminded him that it is better to be free... but since you did that...what you wanna do is tie him but not short when we got my steers in we tied them with about a four to five foot rope room to move and then he figures out he cant go anywhere...this may take a week dont get too excited and go in there with him! let him be keep feeding by hand through the fence and if you have a spot where he can put his head through like a head squeese use that to feed so when he sticks his head out to eat make sure you or your son sits there while he eats so he is not worried about you being there and knows you are the one who fed them...with a large animals project you should know you just have to take your time! but good luck steers are one of the best animals to show and dont let your son be afraid and give up! i started showing large animals (steers and heifers) when i was 9 and i learned you just have to take control....when you do get to the leading keep his head high and use a halter with a chain so when he tries to get away you yank on it and pull his head up....again good luck [/QUOTE]
