[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 1025877, member: 1974"] Watch the two videos about halter breaking in this thread, [url]http://www.cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=79119[/url] . You'll have to get them in a similar size pen. It's been a while since I watched them so I don't remember if this tip is on the video or not. Once you've got the calf standing still with scratching hold the stick in front of them, if they reach out and lick it then you've about got them won over. If they won't reach out, keep scratching until you can. I've been halter breaking all our calves like this now. No one gets tied until they follow me on the lead. That takes about 3 times of haltering. I've got a 16 month old bull that was broke that way. He wasn't haltered a lot and was turned out 4 months ago.
