[QUOTE="BC, post: 917269, member: 67"] This has worked for me for a long time. When my kids got a new heifer or steer, I would tie them up in the front end of our 20 ft gooseneck cattle trailer with enough slack to be able to get up and get down. A water bucket is put in the back of the trailer. Twice a day (3 times a day if it is really hot) the calf/yearling is eased to the back of the trailer to get a drink and then back to the front to be tied again and fed. It may take ten to fifteen minutes to go front the front to the back the first time going from post to post. If by chance the calf breaks away, it can not get very far. Take a show stick and pick up the lead rope and start again. Your on the outside and can't get run over or kicked. Normally a calf will begin to give to his head and quit pulling as hard after a couple of days. When they will walk to get a drink with little pulling and will stop when pulled back, they are ready to come off trailer and go to a pen. Had one year old heifer take 10 days before she gave up. This has worked for me for more than 15 years. [/QUOTE]
