I have a beef day coming up in 35 days and my steer won't lead and he try's to run off!!! What do I do?

If he's "running off", try and figure out why! Is he afraid, spooking and running off? Or is does he have extra energy, and wanting to play? Where do you keep him during the day and night? Is he tied constantly?
I would never suggest tying one to a tractor or truck or four wheeler! Too easy for one to get hurt, and it's not going to solve your problem. Just because you can drag him with a tractor doesn't mean you can lead him without one. I also think using a chain is a bad idea. If he's already afraid, that will only make it worse.
