Stuck in the Middle

Shortly after I got Rusty, I knew I had to start lead training him. The very second I got that rope halter out, he got scared and hid in between two boards in the pen behind his feeder. I used it as sort of a cattle chute for him. A cattle chute squeezes the cow and it calms them down if they're getting medical attention. When Rusty goes behind there, I just slide the lead on, tighten it, and pull him out one leg at a time. Now, I don't know if he trusts me a little more or if he just got too fat, but he doesn't go back there very often anymore. He has grown so much since the beginning. It's amazing to watch him grow!
