Cattle Production

Hello, All! I've recently inherited a modest size herd of mixed cattle (Black Angus heavy) from my late father, and I'm trying to "tame them down." There are several who will come to eat treats from our hands and even scratch their head and neck, but there are still others who won't even come close. Are there any tips or tricks you can share that may help us out? I appreciate your help!
