halter day

Worked with Ben and his new halter today.  Good thing I got him used to a halter when he was a baby.  He doesn't mind the halter at all but still doesn't understand the lead part.  Next step - tie him off to something that weighs more than him for an hour a day.  Tough love now = well behaved 2,000 lb steer someday.  59,72,45,0,B,0

Swamped in...

Got another .38" overnight for a grand total of almost an inch and a half.  Added about 2,500 gallons to my tanks.  My road is a mess and over half gone in this spot.  Gonna have to wait for at least another day for the puddles to dry then fill in enough to fit through the washout.  Funny how the worst spots on my road are due to the Poatri road crew's maintenance techniques.  Going below grade simply does not work.

Had a little training session with the steer today.  Since Ben has already been traumatized by a rope halter - this ill fitting / off color one didn't bother him a bit. (good thing he doesn't have a mirror)  Having him feel comfortable with head gear is half the battle.  Ordered this one which I'm sure he will love.  http://www.enasco.com/product/C02107N

Thanks to the road conditions there was nowhere to go but down today so I dug another hole and set the SE corner fence post.
