[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 1120936, member: 852"] Working with them regularly is more important than how long they're tied on a given day. An hour or two in the evenings when you come home from work and spend some time brushing the calf with your son is sufficient. At this point you're just teaching the calf to stand tied, be haltered and handled (assuming he doesn't know this already). Later you can work on teaching him to stand with his head tied up. Plan on conditioning him to gradually stand tied longer hours - they're not like horses, which can sleep standing with minimal effort. If he's tied comfortably and he's trained to tie there's no reason he can't stand tied for part of the day as you described. Make sure he's not just tied, but you're taking advantage of the time to work around him and get him used to being touched, handled, etc. [/QUOTE]
