[QUOTE="VCC, post: 528013, member: 6399"] Do you tie him, we start by tying them at a neutral level so if they go down they don’t choke themselves, you need to be in the area at all times during this process, I would say by how you described your steer he will fight the rope and go down, when he goes down untie get him up and tie again, once he stops fighting the rope you start tying him with his head up(at the level you want it when you are showing him) he will probably fight this too, so be ready to untie get him up and tie again. You work at this until he will stand there with his head tied up for 2 -3 hours. This takes a few weeks to get to, work it at 15 minute steps, 2 or 3 days at 15 minutes then 2-3 days at 30 minutes and so on. It is much easier on you to have him fight a post, and not you. Make sure that you tie a knot that you can untie by pulling on the loose end of the rope, never tie a knot that isn’t quick release, not even on a tame calf. ( it is a good idea to have a knife or razor knife around just in case you cant untie your not and the steer goes down) Good luck [/QUOTE]
