[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 46931, member: 173"] I agree with LAngus.. we never leave a rope loose on a calf. I've seen a calf get tangled up in one and get badly injured. The more time you can spend with the calf, the better... especially for a Brahman. They have to earn your trust before you'll get anywhere with one. Years ago someone gave me the advice to "wear a brush out on them", and by gosh, it's worked for me. Some will gentle quicker, and it can be frustrating, but the time is well spent. There are also some Brahmans that will never calm down. We sold a 7 year old cow last weekend that I showed at Ft. Worth, and as she got older the more stupid she behaved. Last year I sold three heifers to a FFA boy that's bought from me in the past, and one of the three he never could get to settle. He finally just gave up and turned her out with the cows. Don't risk getting hurt over one! [/QUOTE]
