All that sounds good.  I think if you just keep going down that path, he'll get it.  I had a gelding once that was really crazy over little calves.  He'd either spook and try to leave the country or attack them and try to kill them.  Once, I was penning some pairs and a little 3 day old calf got kind of stuck in the fence corner.  I just rode ol' Henry (gelding's name) up in the corner nice and quiet so the calf could find his way out.  All of a sudden the calf came flying by my head screaming!  Henry had grabbed the calf in his teeth and flung him through the air.  The calf was ok but, I didn't let Henry around calves for a long time after that.  We spent ALOT of time tracking them around and eventually he got to where I could use him.  🤠

Hi Ronny,  how's it going with your gelding?  Any progress?

Hi Ronny,  Have you tried just following the little calves around?  Thats the best thing I've found for that kind of phobia.  If you can set it up where he can track a calf around the pen for a few minutes a few times a week, it should get him straightened out.  Let me know if that helps. Richard
