[QUOTE="redcowsrule33, post: 598238, member: 8629"] In all the years I trained calves I never tied them first thing. I always gentled them and taught them to lead first, then tied them with feed. I might catch a lot of flack for this but an animal that trusts you will always be easier to teach because they understand you are working with them and not against them. I know that's not how it's usually done and it takes more time but if you are planning on keeping that heifer as a replacement animal I want a relationship of trust and not fear. Force teaches distrust. Bash me if you will. But it was never one of my critters taking off down the midway at the fair. :nod: [/QUOTE]
