[QUOTE="show steer up, post: 544633, member: 6939"] Daisy I understand where your comming from. Can your mom or dad walk the animal around for you? If dad can help, that would be great. He is a lot stronger than you and can keep the steer from pulling down and getting away. Once the animal knows they can get away from you they will try to do this to you a lot. If a steer pulls away from my daughter......thats when I take the steer and give it a cumming to Jesus meeting. Ill fermly tell him no, walk him around the pen, give him back to my daughter and then she will tie his head high on the pipe fence for about 30 min. It's kinda like training your dog, they do somthing bad you tell them no and with a steer you take it one step further....tie them up. I also bought a hot walker which we now call a steer walker and we walk them one mile twice daily on it. This way my daughter can work the steers with their heads held high and keeps them from getting heavy headed. There is nothing worse than trying to hold their head up in the ring for ten to fifteen min. If her steer acts up no matter what he does they can't get away from her. This also works great with setting them up and takes a big heavy load (the steers head) off of you while training them to keep their head up. This is also the time you can work with your animal with the show stick. If the steer wont walk forward, mom or dad will be stronger than you and can make them walk.

This is also why we use the rope chain halters, all my kids have to do now is snap the chain a few times and the steer changes his mind and starts to walk. I hope this has been helpful :D This is what we do, maybe you can use some of this advice. [/QUOTE]
