[QUOTE="VCC, post: 773954, member: 6399"] So I take it these are 1100 to 1200 pound steers. We usually start them around 450 to 500 pounds when we halter break them and some of them will fall down to. Get a good nylon rope halter that you can take off after each time you work with them. If they fall down get them up and try again, just keep working with them. If they keep falling on rolling over when you try to work with them, through a tarp over their head for about 5 minutes and do not let them up, this has worked on horses in the past. Once you are past the falling part start tying them with their heads up (at show level) for 10 minutes then 15 and on up until you reach 1 hour, this helps them get used to standing with their head up so you do not have to fight them in the ring. You might try tying them up and walking to water and feed, they will walk once they get thirsty. [/QUOTE]
