Not sure if this is the forum for this question, but here goes!
This steer will be 16 months old at butcher time in December. He's our first cow-raised steer and we're used to easy-loading, bottle-raised 4-H animals. Unfortunately we didn't keep up on the halter training because no one was showing last summer. He's somewhat friendly but real wary about his head. He's quite big now and I'm concerned how we're going to load him on the trailer. We don't have a chute. Any suggestions for loading without trauma? Thanks )
