[QUOTE="TxCoUnTrYbOy, post: 62377, member: 352"] I think using vehicles can be more dangerous than anything for the animal. It can be very easy to hit the gas just a little too hard and knock the steer over or snap his neck. What worked great for my brothers heifer is just get a long lead rope, several people and just pull, then stop and pet the steer, then pull more, and so on. You will probably hear lots of different methods, since everyone has their own way of doing it, youll just have to pick one and go with it, and if that doesnt work, try another. Not to try to worry you, but sometimes there are just animals that are so stubborn they just wont do anything. A buddy of mine had a heifer like that, worked for hours a day with it, tried every method, just never would budge and walk. Also some just snap one day and all of the sudden will walk. You just have to be patient and be sure the steer is comfortable around the people working with it before you take him out. [/QUOTE]
