pull and hold and let them produce the slack. think about how it feels if someone were doing this to you, kinda like some of the responses on this thread. eventually you are going to get resistance if one can't find relief.
for some reason, it's really difficult for people to discover this method. you can't release the pressure fast enough. it's really depressing to see the culmination of drag and pull method reveal itself in the showring with the human trying to pull the calf and getting tapped on the rear and everyone focusing on that animal and shaking their heads rather than focusing on the class itself. judges seem to be able to avoid this dilemma better than most. to me, it makes me not want to look at the animal again unless it is really good.
