[QUOTE="BC, post: 1189089, member: 67"] I learned trick this from an old man and now that I am an old man I will share. It worked for my kids and others. Our county agent started teaching it at his 4-H beef camp. I have a 20 foot gooseneck trailer with a full escape door in the front. I tie the haltered calf in the front of the trailer with just enough room to get up and lay down. Twice a day (3 times in hot weather) I ease the calf to the back of the trailer to get water. While the calf is drinking, I can get in and clean up behind it and put out new feed. Then the calf goes back to the front of the trailer and is tied up again. When the calf goes back to get a drink without trying to break away and can be held easily, it is time to come off trailer and go to a pen. Normally takes 3 or 4 days, but I have had 2 hammerheads that took 10 days to give up and decide that life as a show heifer is a pretty good life. The beauty of this is I don't get jerked around too bad (I have a bad back) and it works. [/QUOTE]
