[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 119605, member: 968"] Why thank you AAOK. As I said, I'm not very big or very strong (arthitis real bad in hands). I'm the one home all day & the cattle are my job. After a few years of MY way of breaking calves, my husband is a firm believer. He used to want to "bully" them around. It's much better to "ask" them to do things with gentle tugs. I use the tug & release method. Actually, I "tap" the halter several times, than put more pressure. As soon as they take 1 step (or 1/2 step) I release the pressure & pet them while I loosen the halter around their nose. We sell our cattle to lots of juniors & have always been complimented on how well they always behave. Even after just 2 weeks of handling. They may have to "pull" them because they may "balk" but I rarely have ever had a "runaway". [/QUOTE]
