[QUOTE="Backbone Ranch, post: 1195817, member: 20754"] I am just starting to halter break two of our Murray Grey heifers. I plan to show them in mid-August of 2015. I have never halter broken anything before, but I feel like they are coming along quite well. I have only worked with them for four days, but I am able to lead them about 30-40 yards without very much resistance. They were weaned at 614 and 530 lbs 2 weeks ago. On the first of the four days, I slipped a halter on them and let them drag it around. On day two, I tied them up for 30 minutes. I kept a close eye on them to make sure they didn't injure themselves. They stopped struggling heavily after about 10 or 15 minutes. After that, I let them drag the halter around for the rest of the day. On day three, I tied them up twice in 30 minute increments. After untying them, I let them drag the halter around. Today I tied them up for 40 minutes. I brushed them and scratched them. After untying them, I lead them around the paddock. I rewarded them with a handful of range cubes. I will work on other things as well in the coming weeks along with what I have been doing currently. I think that they will be well-prepared for the show in August. [/QUOTE]
