[QUOTE="AAOK, post: 437391, member: 861"] Fifteen years of Show Cattle and never had a problem getting one to lead by CALM, SLOW, EASY, PATIENT movement combined with reward. Food and Water are the rewards they recognize first. Twenty-four hours off of water will not make them drag you to the water. These as reward will NOT cause them to balk at a show; unless possibly the calves were not walked on a regular basis. If you have already tried force, your Steer is still experiencing the trauma of that event. It will take a lot longer for a calf to get over a bad experience than most people believe. Just take it slow and easy. Nothing works better than kindness. You will have to earn his trust. [/QUOTE]
