[QUOTE="karlie45, post: 390894, member: 5751"] What is Everclear? I am gonna guess that it is a calming drug. I have never used those on my cattle, and have been just fine. Depending on drugs for training and showing is just asking for trouble. JMO Here is what I would do. Try to get her to settle down while she is not tied up. Just sit out by her feed when you feed her and make her come to you to eat. When you do calm her down this way, tie her up and brush her with a broom. (yes, a broom, it has the feeling of a brush, but you are far enough away from her to not get kicked.) Once she is calmed down like that, brush her with your normal daily-care brush. Once she is calmed down and you can scratch her from head to tail, belly and feet. THEN try leading her to food/water. It will be a slow process, I know. But I think it would be best to gain her trust and respect than to force her on a tractor and have her 'put up with you'. Good Luck. Keep on her, with a little time she may come around. Just remember, if she doesnt come around. Nothin that they give away at a show is worth sacraficing your safety. If you are not comfortable with her come show time, feel no shame in leaving her home.
