[QUOTE="DLD, post: 1040679, member: 19707"] Definitely get a nose lead and/or a pronged show halter chain, they will enable you to hold his head away from you. If he's butting you in the back, you're giving him too much slack - remember he needs to walk beside you, not behind you. If he's getting ahead of you, don't just hold the stick in front of him, whack him across the nose with it, firmly enough to get his attention. After you've done that a few times at home, then just holding it in front of him or maybe just lightly tapping him with it will be all you need to do in the show ring. Sorry, but this is just not right. Steers are far more even tempered than heifers as a general rule - yes, there are some with bad attitudes, but no more with steers than heifers, and steers are much more predictable. Your hormonally imbalanced theory doesn't fly, unless they still have a testicle up in them, or are being given something artificially - the sweetest show heifer ever can be a complete idiot if she's in heat, or maybe even if the one next to her is.
