[QUOTE="aussie_cowgirl, post: 669938, member: 1279"] One way is to "bag them down". Get a straw broom and put a hessian/feed bag over the head and tie it on. Rub it ALL over your animal. He'll kick and what not but keep doing it. Do this for a few days and he should be ok. If not you get mean, get a piece of plastic pipe (we call it poly pipe) and when he kicks out, whack him with it. Sounds mean but it works. I had a steer that kicked a lot. A few days of receiving a whack for it stopped him from kicking from then on. Also try and handle him more. The more he is handled the quieter he will be. [/QUOTE]
