[QUOTE="BC, post: 1360640, member: 67"] I think you already figured it out. It is always better to get the calf halter broken and leading before you dehorn. 1) You have the animal's trust; 2) the stress of weaning, going on feed and strange surroundings are enough to start out with and 3) it is difficult to work with one when his/her head is sore plus you take a chance on opening up the wound. Can you put the heifer in the pen with the steer? She will be a calming effect on him. Have your daughter tie the heifer to feed and then put the steer's feed tub next to the heifer's but where she can not eat out of it. Have her talk to both animals and just scratch him with stick as he eats until he settles down. [/QUOTE]
