[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1158989, member: 9096"] I would love to do it, but the pair that would be best at the show, Momma hates other people so I don't think she'd be very thrilled about the idea (unless everyone fed her carrots). I have an 8 year old that would have been great with her bull calf last year, both fat on just grass.. BCG, I thought you'd have to slim yours down before a show! I like starting my calves on halter training as early as possible, I find about a month old is just fine.. basically once they start eating well, I'll take them out to eat fresh grass.. when they get bored of that and want milk, they get led back.. pretty soon they'll wait for you at the gate, and they'll learn that where you're bringing them is where they want to go... The cows I've spent a lot of time with hardly need a halter anymore, I can fashion one out of bale twine because they never pull on it, or the ones that wear bells I can use the bell belt.. just take 1 finger behind it and they know they're to follow me [/QUOTE]
