[QUOTE="Keren, post: 523569, member: 3195"] This is basically identical to how I have broken in mature bulls and cows. I have found them very relaxed about it too, but it took me longer than you, usually 2 to 3 weeks. I never start before weaning, unless the calf is being shown as a cow-calf pair. Usually break them in at 8 to 10 months, sometimes we have one that didnt look as good at weaning but looks good at 15 - 18 months, so we quite often break them in then. And I have done old bulls and cows at times. You might be suprised and find that, if you have the correct method, breaking them in around the yearling stage is easier than breaking them in as a baby calf. Baby calves have no brains except for milk and mum, whereas yearling calves do a lot of thinking about the breaking in process. [/QUOTE]
