[QUOTE="cul8r, post: 217298, member: 1133"] If you bought her at a sale for a show heifer and paid alot, wasn't she already halter broke? Just a little warning, I have seen show prospects at sales that were so doped up it was unreal, that way they would bring the big bucks. Best place to pick a show heifer for a kid to show for the first time is to pick it out of the pasture. If the calf runs away from the rancher's truck, leave the calf at the ranch, if the calf comes up to the rancher's truck and is curious of you, take em home. I agree, turn her loose and let her get that pent up energy out. When you untie her, she thinks that she is getting free, that's the reason for the unruly behavior. Especially if she enjoys being groomed and washed, if she were that bad, she would be bad all the time. Also, don't walk straight up to her head, walk up to her toward her shoulder and talk to her as you are walking up to her. There may also be a trust issue with you and your husband if you have already been putting show calm down her, you are going to have to earn her trust back. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
