[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 240342, member: 852"] A 400lb calf, regardless of age, is plenty big enough to learn his manners. Shucks, I've had little 3 [i]week [/i]old holstein bull calves that are gentle as puppy dogs and dead broke as the grandkids' horse. I recall one day walking a certain calf down the road and one of my neighbors rolled down his car window as he went past, and hollered "that is one heck of an ugly dog!" :lol: I wouldn't hesitate to use a chain under the jaw, through the mouth, or a whip if I felt it would solve the problem of a contrary cow or calf. A lot of the time when I'm weaning calves I move them out to a pen that's easiest accessed by leading them to it, and a rope halter and 6' whip will have 90% of them broke to lead by the time I get them there.
