I have a cracker of a steer that we are currently breaking in. He is a Speckle ParkXLimo X Murray Grey (We are in Australia). I have high hopes for him if we can get the fat cover on that rump in time. Would welcome any thoughts/opinions on him. In the photos he is 9 months old.
We are having a fair bit of trouble getting him to lead. He will either not move at all and when he does move he puts his head down and tries to run. The students are doing their best with him but he is incredibly strong. in the past I have used a tractor or donkey but we have no donkey and no appropriate implements to tow him behind the tractor. I would really appreciate any advice. We are using a hackamore now and I will probably nose ring him next week.
Thanks!
