[QUOTE="TiftonBeefmaster, post: 1403497, member: 26314"] This is pretty much what we did recently with two heifers and it worked out well. We did start them on feed much earlier though. Once we got halters on them we let them drag a lead around the corral for an hour or two. Did this twice a day for about a week and then moved to lead them twice a day thereafter. Would also leave them tied for up to an hour while brushing them down. To avoid the potential for the heifer to get it's legs tangles up in the corral panels, I took 2 8x4 sheets of marine plywood and bolted hooks to the top and then hung the sheets from the top rail of the corral panels. Left a couple of cutouts at the top to allow for tying the lead to the rail. The sheets can be moved easily to other parts of the corral if needed. Having the heifers halter broke and able to be led allowed us to keep the price up. [/QUOTE]
