[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 627024"] You don't have to put the halter on to do this. Just put them both in a small pen and lightly touch both of them w/ the stick. It won't startle them, it gets them use to ppl and the touch. You can keep a little distance for safety, but this helps calms them for the future halter. Just set the stick on their back, as they move, you move w/ them (keeping the stick on them as walking together). Shortly you will be able to rub them all over w/ the stick. As they calm down you will be able to start putting your hands on them and/or brushing. I like to have them calmed down before we start w/ halters. One steer shouldn't affect the other's progress. Remember to move slowly and talk quiet and gentle. Also keep in mind they are like children...be consistant! Work w/ them daily to continue moving forward w/ your progress. Let me know if you don't understand anything I am trying to say. I can show you much easier than typing. [/QUOTE]
