[QUOTE="6M Ranch, post: 415878, member: 2324"] Use a chain style control halter, with a long lead rope. Let her wear that for the first several days. Every time she steps on the lead, it will jerk her head. After this period, you should start tieing her up, both head up and head down. Work up to 2 hours morning and night. Do this in a small pipe pen, so she can't go very far. After the session is over, lead her to food and water. This is a basic description of a procedure that has to be adapted to each animal. Sometimes if they're real spooky, you can do it inside a trailer. Keep you and the lead outside the trailer. 3 year is going to be difficult just because of her size. We start our own calves before they're weaned. Lot's easier that way. Safety tip, don't wrap lead rope around your hand or any other body part. Also, if she tries to run off, don't try and stop her, pull her head over from the side. You can also do this if she won't walk. Pull her head sideways. [/QUOTE]
