[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 131135, member: 852"] Two words: [i]Lotta work.[/i] :lol: :lol: Seriously though - if they're going to be dairy cows, and dairy cows in the milking herd only, not show stuff, there's no reason to halter break them. My boss really [i]doesn't [/i]like his milking cows tame. They are easiest to work around when they aren't necessarily [i]afraid [/i]of you, but still wary and with enough respect they'll move away when you approach. Tame cows just stand there and refuse to budge. :lol: I've tamed and halter broke some of my cows to a certain point - that point where I can easily catch and lead them to a new pasture if I need to, but they're "wild" enough I can still herd them if I don't feel like putting a halter on. I've halter broke a couple older cows that were around 5 or 6 years old, straight from the milking herd and never had a rope on, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. LOL. Oh...and halter breaking TWELVE at once? :shock: I'm a little "different" in that I like to be able to lead my cows around or walk up to them in the pasture to check them over, but even [i][b]I [/b][/i]wouldn't try halter breaking twelve at one time. :lol: One or two maybe, but no more.
