Is he just being stubborn and not wanting to walk on the lead very well? I would agree with tieing him up to an ollder cow with manners, but if your really having problems, I would either buy or borrow a full sized donkey to tie up to your steer. I used this method with both heifers and steers...

In my experience, it all depends on the heifer. I had a heifer that I used it on and it worked like a charm. But I also had, at the same time, another heifer that I also was giving it to and it didn't do anything. For me, its a 50-50 shot, but I also know that Sullivan's Peace Pellets aren't...

Nice looking heifer! I love her hip. Have fun with her! (thumbsup)

You could. just make sure you get a large donkey. I have tried the donkey method on an older heifer and it still worked like a charm. If you have any mmore questions about this just let me know. (thumbsup)

Here is my heifer back in March during Houston

I had the same problem with a heifer of mine a while back. No amount of calming aid helped until I got a donkey and chained them together. As strange as this may sound it really works, and with in 3 days complete strangers were able to walk up to her and lead her around.

I have a Santa Gertrudis heifer that I got for HLSR Scramble Show this year. I have taken her to 2 local shows and 2 major shows and all of the judges said the sae thing about her: she needs more fat on her. I can't complain about that, since that is easy to fix (if i can find the right feed)...

I have a Santa Gertrudis heifer that I just can't seem to put any weight on, and I need some suggestions about what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated! ;D
