[QUOTE="TheBullLady, post: 520154, member: 173"] If he's been handled before, you have a good chance of bringing him around again. He's nervous because he's in a new place. The more time you can spend with him, the better. Get a bucket and sit in the stall with him.. read a book or do your homework. Don't try to touch him.. let him come to you. He'll do it eventually.. he just needs to earn your TRUST. Work slowly, and don't force him. If you can spend a couple of hours a day with him, and working around him (feeding, filling his water, etc) he'll be under your hand in no time. I would suggest not trying a halter and rope until you can start handling him again. Get a show stick.. steers LOVE their bellies scratched with a stick. It's less threatening to them when you're farther away... like the length of the stick. Patience and time! [/QUOTE]
