[QUOTE="ziggyb, post: 121244, member: 1288"] This is the method we use now. After watching the Cattle Show on RFD with this method we have used it exclusively and it has worked everytime. We can walk into a stall after 1 week and just wait for the animal to get to its comfort corner and then walk up and place the halter on. We use 2 halters tied together to give more leverage in the first couple of days. Using the method of extending the lead rope all the way out and letting the calf come to you for the first couple of weeks works great. We have cows in the pasture that were halter broke as calves with this method and we can walk right out into the pasture and place the halter on them anytime we want to and lead them anywhere we want. Good Luck and always stay calm. Animals can since fear and frustration. Try not to look directly at the calves when beginning to work with them. Stand sideways to them and they will not sense you as a threat. [/QUOTE]
