[QUOTE="francismilker, post: 437665, member: 7028"] Yesterday evening, after being tied for twenty four hours, I lead the calf to water. He easily went. After he drank, I tried to get him to lead out of his pen. He very hesitantly went a few steps at a time. I got him out of the pen, hooked him to the ATV and he willingly led for about one hundred yards. Just as I begin thinking to myself, "hey, he's coming around", he decided he'd gone too far and locked up.. Problem was, I was about 100 yards from the pen. I had to drag him back to the pen. It was really difficult and he got really stressed while doing this. I couldn't just let him go in the pasture with my other cows because my bull really takes offence to the show calf's existence. Again, it was just like an on\off switch. Once he locks up, he's done. [/QUOTE]
