Didn't see your thread Knabe... but you should take his advise when you find it.

We have a steer this year like that... still after months doesn't like to be caught or lead.  But will (lead) if someone else behind him.  So figure come show time hopefully will fine.
Son leaves the rope halter on also, but the best way is to always have the show stick and scratch him then you can usually catch him.  Again try to at times just scratch him and don't try to lead or do anything with him then he should gain to trust you.  Sometimes calves are just a pain in the butt!  Some aren't.  Good luck.
