[QUOTE="chippie, post: 1013329, member: 5644"] You shouldn't keep food in front of him all of the time. Show cattle need a schedule and they do well with one. Feed him twice daily and pick up any feed that is not finished. He needs a reason to walk with your son and the longer he gets away with his behavior, the harder it will be to get him halter broke. Really, tying him in his pen (which is necessary training because when you take him to a show, he will have to be tied 24/7) probably will not slow him down. Put his water at the wash rack. Twice a day, walk him to the wash rack to drink and tie him up by the water. While he is drinking, clean his stall/pen and put his feed in his tub by his tie spot. Take him back to his feed and you can use this time to brush and groom him. Give him time to eat and pick up the tub when he is through. it may take a couple of weeks, but he will realize that walking with a person is a good thing. This plus the other recommendations will help you get him halter broke. It is best to do this now because all the work that you put in him is worthless if he can't be shown. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
