[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1666831, member: 25884"] Do you have a chute you can get her in? Get a halter and attach a leadrope....I braid baling strings to make lead ropes, $2-3.00 snap in the end. I usually braid it with double strings to make it stronger....typical simple" 3 string braid" .... get it on her and let her drag the lead. She will step on it and get a couple of "comeuppances". Make it 6-10 ft long for when you want to tie her. Then one day you get ahold of it when she is close to a STOUT post. tie her and let her fight it. Some quit real quick, some don't. Realize you have only had her a short time. If she figured out that going in the trailer after you put hay in there, and then went in out of the wind, proves she is not stubbornly stupid. I think that is plenty of feed. You don't want her calf to get too big from the increased nutrition. With dairy in her, she is going to be more "angular" anyway. Plenty of hay is cruicial.... she will gain when the weather let's up so that she is not eating to just fuel her being able to keep up body heat. [/QUOTE]
