[QUOTE="txffamom, post: 1120879, member: 17084"] Good advice above... The only addition I will make is that if he isn't good and halter broken, don't leave him unattended for hours. We started by tying for about an hour in the evenings (while we were doing other chores), then lead them to feed or water, a treat, etc. and let them get used to being tied for short periods first. They will try to lay down, sometimes kick around a bit and if that happens, someone needs to be close by to untie them before they hurt themselves. Funny that nesikep mentioned desensitizing too...my daughter's heifer still gives a little hop/skip at every wheel barrow she sees. Rattle feed sacks around his head, play a radio, clap, etc until he no longer jumps at those sounds...I've seen several react negatively when the crowd claps and when the judge starts talking a class, because they've never heard those sounds before. Good luck and have fun! [/QUOTE]
