[QUOTE="showing71, post: 667256, member: 11621"] I have had calves that won't walk on the halter period. They would just fall down and then lay there, no matter what I did to try and get them up, until I took the halter off and then they would get up and walk off. The most difficult one we have ever broke was a Kadabra heifer who would take off running as soon as we put the halter on her. We tried tying her to the 4 wheeler once. My dad was walking along side of her and my sister was driving, and the heifer took off, jumped over the 4 wheeler and got the rope wrapped around my sister's leg. My sister still had an indentation from it. After that, she was lead by the tractor and walked smoothly. But whenever we tried walking her by hand she would put her head down and run. We showed her, and oddly she was perfectly fine in the ring, but had 2 breaking halters on her outside the ring. She is still in the herd, and she is the only high headed animal we have, but she throws a good calf, so she'll be there until she doesn't anymore. [/QUOTE]
