[QUOTE="show steer up, post: 427998, member: 6939"] I have tried the method of dragging the steer behind the truck. Not a good idea, I hurt the animal. this calf was huge, around 900 lbs. when we bought him. My kids were 7 and 9 at the time. I was real carefull and I still hurt the animal. It took him four days to recover. We worked with him every day, 2 times a day and by the time we went to our fair he weighed 1758 lbs and 56 and 5/8 inches tall. He forgave us, thank god, and ended up being a doll of a giant. He took heavyweight champion and set all records on weight and height at our fair. To this day everyone at our fair still talks about snowball the gental giant. So, be patient and use the tie up method. Do what the other people sugested. I did get that metal halter and never used it, not because I chose not to but because I did not now how to use it. Good luck and remember all good things are worth waiting for. This does apply to training steers. [/QUOTE]
