[QUOTE="RichieMaGoo, post: 131602, member: 2524"] I've heard that the best way to halter-break a calf is to tie it's halter to a pope [edit- unless you live in Rome, you might want to make that "a rope", not a pope!] attached to a donkey- wherever the donkey goes, the calf will have to follow...and before long, he gets with the program and you'll be able to take over the reins. Whether or not this plan would work on one year-old cows....I don't know...but I suppose if you had a good sized donkey it might. I'd be tempted to give this a shot- I think it's the only real chance you'd have a breaking a cow at that age. (and as an added bonus, the donkey would keep the coyotes away....and they cost nothing to keep- as they'll do just fine on forage.) [/QUOTE]
