[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1189166, member: 9096"] I've found as long as I can prevent them from getting their body in line with the rope, I can handle a pretty decent sized animal.. they don't have all that much strength to move their neck sideways, but if they get the rope between their legs you don't have much hope. I've gotten plenty of rope burns until I learned exactly when hope is lost. I often tie a couple figure8 knots in the rope to hold on to (they're pretty easy to undo even after they've been tightened) I have a 'control' halter that has a chin chain, when you hook to the end of the chain, it'll hurt when they pull, and it's quite effective for the stubborn ones. Hamilton Halter makes them.. For a big weaned calf to long yearling (800-1100 lb) you'll probably need the "cow sized" one, and a "bull sized" for anything older.. [/QUOTE]
