[QUOTE="J. T., post: 155857, member: 289"] Have you tried taking a long lead and stand behind the calf and give it a good yank? It'll nearly knock her off her feet and she'll come to understand that she must walk when the lead rope is tugged on. Bez! offers an excellent suggestion. Haltering a calf to a donkey works well. My son had a Brangus heifer that wouldn't lead for love nor money. I tied her to the back of the tractor and pulled her in LOW gear. My son walked next to her, holding the lead rope and had his show stick. I would stop the tractor, he would lift her head and set her up. She got the message and as an old working momma cow, I can still halter her and lead her even though her show career is long past! Good luck and keep us posted! [/QUOTE]
