We gave our grandson a daughter and granddaughter(niece to the daughter) of a favorite cow. Both learned to slip rope halters. He's now showing daughters from the first two, and a steer calf from one of them. All know how to slip halters. His March yearling can slip the halter as soon as you turn away from tying her. She can slip a neck rope unless it's tight enough to look like it's choking her, and that doesn't look good at a show. We put this kind of halter on her now, the link is http://www.enasco.com/product/C15158N . The problem is now she is rubbing her chin raw from trying to remove it. She's going to Louisville this week, so I took off that halter last week to let her chin/jaw heal. She gets tied when we work her, that's the only time.
Any suggestions on halters? I think we may have to go with the one I linked to, and put her in the trailer at night so she doesn't go anywhere when she gets loose. Oh, several times she has managed to unsnap lead ropes attached to that halter, so that's another issue keeping her confined.
