I got my Steer for 4-H on the 12th. He weighs about 450lbs give or take a bit and is a Spet 07 Black Baldie.
I have been rinisng him every night since the 13th and them combing him out after I get done. Then I try to walk him. I have to say he is a booger bear. When ever I apply pressure to his head he either falls over or rares up occasionally jumping on top of me. I think I have got him past falling over but when I rinse him or pull he still jumps up and when I do get him walking he walks with his head down and he twists his head back and forth. When I try pulling his head up he rares up. I have kicked him ligtly in the nose a couple of times but I'm not sure if its helping. My question is should I worry about his head being down right now or just concentrate on getting him used to walking with me? HOw could I get him to hold his head up.
Thanks and if you would check out my other post http://cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=46509 and tell me what you think of him.
Thanks
