Hi this is my first post & I need some help...
We were to get a 2.5 month old steer calf last night. Hereford/White park.
Well, we loaded him & brought him home. Proceded to "try" to take him off the trailer (2 horse slant). He charged us every time! Now, he was just taken from his momma that day, so I know that has a lot to do with it. But he would calm down, until we tried to approach, then the charge again. And pawing. And bellowing. And spit flying.
He was taken back the the farm.
What could we have done to get him off the trailer? I'm almost positive if we had gotten him off & run into the stall, he would've been up over in a heartbeat.
