Don't give up! My showmanship heifer was mean as a snake when I first got her.
From everything that you have previously posted these people DON'T know what they are doing and it has shown from the postings you and your friend have had on here. But to answer your question, it is hard to break bad habits when they haven't been dealt with for that amount of time. I'm not going to say kick the calf back, but you need to show her who's boss. I put up with a lot of stuff with calves, but I despise getting kicked and will send one somewhere else in a hurry if they don't quit. My suggestion would be give the heifer something to calm her down (not ace, but something legal) and go from there. A little cocktail every now and then can help.Shorthorn Girl said:MCC: im asking for suggestions so i can pick through the things i think i can do. I respect the person im working with and they know what they are doing. It is my project so its mine to deal with and i am going to do what i think is fit. Space is limited and she couldnt stay in with the show steers cause we needed to put the young bull in there for the winter so shes been in pasture with the cows and has lost some training. PLease try to not bash the people who have done nothing but go out of their way to help me
