[QUOTE="Hardin Farms, post: 1690514, member: 38719"] So I started weaning a big heifer last week. She is by no means "show quality", but she is out of one of my best cows as far as production and weaning weight. I am keeping her for a replacement. I got her up last week and wormed/vaccinated her and was impressed with how gentle she is. We are not ready to show, but my son is interested in it. I thought we might cut our teeth on this heifer. We have been hand feeding her for a week and rubbing on her, patting her and finally got a brush so we will start brushing her. She handles all of that extremely well. I even sat my daughter on top of her last night and she just stood there no problems. I am going to tie a rope halter on her and let a lead rope dangle for a few days and then tie her up. We will see where it goes! She may be a little big to be trying to halter break, but she's really gentle. And yes, I know the kids need boots on... but I have been vocal about keeping their feet away from hers. [ATTACH type="full"]5928[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]5929[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
