[QUOTE="Keren, post: 409103, member: 3195"] Of course it is possible to break 10 month old heifers. I generally dont start until they are 10 months or older. I've found, although they are obviously stronger, its generally not all that difficult, and they have more brains at that age than as younger calves (though heifers generally dont have many brains at all :roll: ). I never leave the halters on them to drag for that very reason, although I know many people who do. I've never had a problem. Also, I think they need to know exactly when I come with the halter they need to behave differently to when they are just running in the paddock - I dont like them becoming too familiar with the halter. Good luck and post some pictures when you take some! [/QUOTE]
