The steers got to pull something for the first time today. In the past I have hitched a pole between them so that they would get used to having something dragging behind them. When I hitched the steers to the tire, I was worried that one of two things would happen, either they would worry that the tire was chasing them, and try to run away from it, or they wouldn't like the feeling of something pulling on their necks, and would refuse to go. When we first started walking, they seemed a little jumpy, and afraid of the tire, but they soon settled down and were extremely well behaved.
