[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16214"] I've seen about everything from wacking them with a stick to pulling them with a tractor. What we do with those that the normal tug and release method doesn't work with is to hook a chain (light weight dog type)over their back and around behind them so that it is in a loop with the rear part riding just above the hocks. When they won't move we jerk on the chain so that it applies pressure from behind. We use that along with a tap on the top of the tail head and the verbal command "gitup" to train oxen (actually working steers). Doesn't take long and either the verbal command with the tap on the tail head gets them started. Before long all it takes is either the verbal or light tap. The key is to also teach "whoa". dun > I can't get my calf to lead. What > can I do? [/QUOTE]
