[QUOTE="Hippie Rancher, post: 499883, member: 4203"] If you don't have this skill already waiting till shipping day is gonna be a wreck. Get Mama in the pen NOW and work on getting him in there with her. Don't rush gates or do anything to scare him back. When you get them together in an enclosed area keep working slowly to get him in a small pen with her. Just walk away when he goes where you want. It will only take one or two positive times to get him over what ever scared him, but if you give him any more negative experiences he is never going to go in there and you will need to rodeo or tranquilize - neither of which gives the best return in dollars as gentle handling.
