[QUOTE="INDad, post: 240156, member: 4289"] You all have been great thus far - at the moment I'm figuring he needs to get used to show halter anyway (with chain) so that's the approach I'm going to go with for tonight with me and a kid both together - trying to avoid the "rasslin" (and the bolting) but go easy and still make progress. He's probably only 350 - 400 pounds but I have to say, I have to work real hard to move him along when he gets his feet set. Way harder than I ever had to with our 1200-plus pound steer! Kids' "fear factor" is also a significant issue. But realistically, helping them work through things like this, build confidence and have some fun together is exactly why I think showing beef calves can be such a great thing for kids! :D Thanks again - we'll keep you posted. sc [/QUOTE]
