Halter Breaking

In search of thoughts/advice.  I have a new steer that was tie broke when purchased.  He came home and walked like a dream for a week.  Now going on 2 weeks we are in a tug of war with him.  He's calm and doesn't do anything bad-my 9yo loves him.  he will lead to his feed bunk (which we do daily 2x a day).  Suggestions please?

Hold the lead and let animal provide release.  Usually start by doing this to the side.


Pulling and tugging is pointless.

Along with knabe's advice, are you tying him with his head up for an hour or so per day (basically) the height you want his head for a show pose?  That usually helps.  Gradually work up to a couple hours.  Seems to get them more compliant and they learn to take halter pressure off by putting their head up.
