[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1121155, member: 9096"] One thing I do on my replacement heifer calves is I put a halter on them, with about a 10 foot or so lead, and let them drag it around... once in while a cow will step on it, and she'll have to stop and wait, and she'll get the idea it's no use fussing about it... When they all get turned out to pasture, I put a bell on some of them.. I think it sounds nice to hear them, and they also get used to sounds close to them. Replacement heifers also get lots of pettings, a bit everywhere, but the belly and udder are important, and I once in a while make them give me their hoof. I had to steal some colostrum from a cow yesterday, and she's not really a tame cow, she's had minimal work done with her, and she's not halterbroke at all, and she didn't want me stealing her milk,.. I followed her around a bit, and then found the secret to her heart was giving her a belly rub before milking her, then she stood still for it and I was able to get my quart. [/QUOTE]
