[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1012024, member: 18809"] You have to teach him to give to pressure, or you are fighting a losing battle. With our babies, we start with a halter that slides easily under the chin. You can buy rope haters with a metal ring that the lead slips through, or if you already have a rope halter then you can get a c clamp and use it the same way. The point is, when the calf gives to the pressure, the tension on his chin releases. Once you have the proper halter, use the "give and take" method of training. We find it easiest when we stand behind the shoulder area, and give a little tug toward us, the calf eventually will walk into the pressure, then reward with a scratch or just relax for few moments. You can never out pull a calf when they get bigger, so teach them the right way from the beginning and it is so much easier... [/QUOTE]
