[QUOTE="aussie_cowgirl, post: 762065, member: 1279"] Well yeah, she's been taken from her mum and her herd and now she's in a strange place so you can imagine how frightened she'd be. Probably to begin with, yard her and feed her in there, chances are she's out of a paddock. Just so she gets used to you coming and going, and gets used to being confined and in a new environment. Don't try and pet her or anything to begin with, you just want to get her used to you being around. Maybe 2 weeks of that, that's what the university uses to adjust paddock animals to close quarter life. From there you can work on getting her used to you being close to her and tying up and so on. Maybe other people on here will have a different idea but I think at the moment the biggest part is getting her through weaning. [/QUOTE]
