[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1509253, member: 968"] Probably 2/3 of my cows will let me give them a scratch on their butt, a few I can scratch their heads, but I can never touch a calf - until I halter break it. We bring 4 heifers in at a time. Lock them in the barn during the day, out with mom at night, so they don't get weaned. Halter them & work with them for about 2 weeks, then they go out to pasture with mom. Then we bring the next 4 in. They are not quite "show" ready, but at any time in their life, if we need to halter them, they know what it is and don't fight it. Just makes life easier on the farm, and if we decide we do want to show one as a yearling or cow/calf, it doesn't take much to finish them off. [/QUOTE]
