Patience, what they experience in the early stages of halter breaking they will remember.

If you are not short for time or the cow is not large, I recommend putting the halter on the animal and tyeing it to a sturdy fence or gate with its head up. Use a quick release knot and ALWAYS keep close to the animal when it is tied. If it is nut fussing alot you can brush or pet it as a reward and a way of calming the animal.

After a couple of days (this time may be longer depending on the animal) or when the animal is used to be tied up, practice walking with the animal on your right side. When beginning with tyeing only keep the animal tied for about 10 minutes or until they calm down.

If you are training a larger animal or a more high strung animal, tie it up as stated above. Instead of holding onto the animal and walking, you can tie it to a wagon that is hooked to a tractor, have someone walk beside the animal (on the left hand side of the animal) and another person slowly driving the tractor. This is also a faster way of halter breaking cattle, it does not hurt them if you drive really slow, this teaches the animal that it cannot get loose from you.

How do you show a cow?

Well, it takes a lot of work, practice, and responsibility. You need a comb, a show halter, a halter, a show stick, a brush, a hose, ect. Of course, most of all, you need a cow!I'll just tell you how to show a cow, not take care of a cow. After you have the show halter on your cow, bring it inside the ring. Also, you have to have a show stick in one hand. Remember, your hand has to be held tight, but not right next to, your cow. Try looking at the judge at all times, if you can. You earn extra points that way. When the cows in the ring stop, set up your cows feet with the show stick. If the judge is on the left or right side of the cow, you scissor the cow's back feet with the show stick point end. The front feet stay squared up at all times, when your cow is stopped. If the judge is in front or behind your cow, keep all feet squared up. When your done walking your cow or fixing your cows' feet, remember to scratch your cow's belly for a reward afterwards! Maybe you might win!
