[QUOTE="Lomac, post: 1189514, member: 21024"] I have read the recent posts on here about breaking. I have broke a many a steer in my 4-H days and with my young daughters here in the last couple years. This is a little different from teh other posts, not trying to beat a dead horse here. This is a Feb-Mar calf about 700-750. Charolais/Angus cross. Troubadour bull. This guy has been nuts since we got him <<3rd week in Aug. To make matter worse, he got sick and vet had to give him a shot. We dont have a chute. Had him tied to a fence pole and using nose pliers administered the shot. He pulled so hard the halter cut deep into his nose. We have that healed up now with Nu Stock. Been letting him drag the halter for a couple weeks now with a big pad for the bridge of his nose. We have him in a 12x20 pen (maybe to big?). Have tied him up overnight, scratched ect but hes still rough. Like put his head down, paw at the ground and try and mow u over ruff if u dont have a show stick in your hand. We have a Angus in the pen beside him. Same age. Not sure if putting them together will help. Have always had our animals broke by now. Had one fella come by and remark...he's got that look of unbreakable. <<<Have never believed that. Ive tried to be nice. Any advice before the round and round on the tractor routine. Thanks [/QUOTE]
