[QUOTE="SF, post: 67953, member: 1171"] Lots of great advice thus far. I tie mine up and leave them there 24 hours per day. I tie them up on the opposite side of the pen where the water and feed are. I lead them to the water. Use a halter with a long enough lead, that you have plenty or room to be able to brace yourself. You do not want the calf to get loose. They need to learn the feel of the rope. Lead them to the feed and water. When they are tied up, talk to them, and start brushing them. Most steers will gentle down within a few days when doing this. I wouldn't use a tractor, pickup or any other device to lead them. This may spook them more and make the gentling process tougher. Good luck [/QUOTE]
