[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 28654"] We usually try to break all of our bulls to lead. We get a halter on them and tie them to a post in the barn for about three days. We give them very little rope at this time. Make sure they have plenty of water and feed of course. We try to be around alot at that time to check on them and just get them used to us. About the end of the three days if they seem like they are doing good we hook them on to the tractor one at a time and take them for a slow walk for exercise. They will pull against it at first but soon they will be leading good. We then put them back on the post in the barn with more rope at this point. We do the tractor leading thing about three or four times depending on how each one is doing. We can normally get them off of the tracor and walk them in the barn pretty good by then. I think it's important to be there with them as much as possible when they are tied up so they can really get used to you and won't get jumpy when you are tring to get ther ropes intied and retied ect. We try to get them back on the halter about two or three times a year just so they won't forget. I saw your bull in the picture he looks good. We do this with angus and brangus bulls. Sorry this is so long. Best of luck with your attempt. Let us know how it turns out. (The treat idea isn't a bad idea while you've got him tied on the post.) Devin [/QUOTE]
