I just got a State Fair steer for the FL state fair. The Fair authority gets the steers donated from FL commercial cattlemen, so we cant go out and pick them out from breeders. The steers have only seen people 2 or 3 times when they were weaned, castrated, vaccinated and moved. and then again when they were dehorned and boostered. I am trying to break my calf which is a Charolais X Brahman. I have him dragging a halter and leadrope, he was very calm in the pen, but will charge you and try and catch you any time you get in his pen. Yesterday and today I had him in the lane before the chute petting him and touching all over him and he was fine. He just try's to charge you when you get in his pen. Can you guys give me any suggestions on how to break him and getting to stop charging? Other than his charging, he is very calm and he will let you touch him in the lane. Is he just scared and Nervous?
*** I will attach a pic of him so you can look @ him. He is the blonde one
