    When you tie the calf up you should have your kids tale turns sitting with her with a hand on the rope. This will make the calf believe that the kids are strong enough to stop her and will lead to the kids being able to walk her.
    If you add a verbal command to the actions you ask her to do while haltered then eventually you will be able to use just your voice to get her to do things.
    I did 5 years of dairy 4-h showing and me and my friends always trained our calves with verbal commands while halter training and so we could control them out in the pasture without even touching them.

      What kind of words did you use at commands? I’m getting my first calf through ffa to show ( I typically do hogs) and I’m learning first about halter training before I get my calf.

    Headstall and tether training is best done as young as possible, I agree. Get them into the idea they can't get away from the tether long before they are strong enough that they might break the rope. I tethered my Dexter heifer as soon as she was old enough to be away from her mama for a few hours, and she never gave any trouble.

    Your sweet Grace reminds me of my older sister. She had long hair at that age, and absolutely loved all different types of animals. Even though we did not grow up on a farm, we always had animals. Fifty plus years later, she is a police Lt. in our home town, and still loves animals. She loves coming to the farm and helping the farmer and me take care of all the animals we have been blessed to take care of. And she has plenty of her own too. I can just see Grace having animals around her always. Blessings from our farm to yours.

And Joyful's haircut is cute too. So cute watching Wilder in the garden. Grace is growing up to be a lovely young lady. And Justice is a good little helper. All of your children are such a blessing for y'all! God bless your family!

    Have you thought of using a curry comb on the calf as well? It would probably enjoy the light scritches too! But would also get her used to finding pleasure being touched in many more areas more thoroughly.

  • @tkfarmgoods9508
    @tkfarmgoods9508 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    We have had good luck with tying the rope so it won't slip off and let the rope drag, when they step on it they learn to give to the rope.

    I would seriously suggest you think about keeping both calves for milk cows... Because of the bad weather that parts of the mid-west and east has had, there are already signs going up in stores of food shortages... people are going to need milk. It would be a good opportunity for you to sell locally. I'm a firm believer that hard times are coming ahead because of solar minimum, crazy weather ect

    she's a very pretty girl. My girl has been really good on the halter. I take her down the road to her summer date and she walks with me on her lead. She's like a big dog. I always have my geese loose with the goats. Just last week a coyote got our rooster and then four days later they got one of my geese. Our other one was pretty sad about it. I got them together as day olds. Now he is locked up at night with his new flock of pullets and that makes him happy.

    Details are important. Cows are simple. Put a rope halter with the eye-loop, where the rope gathers the slack, on the same side, the side you're gonna walk on--every time. Don't make them have to have it across their nose. So simple, you'd think is doesn't make any difference, but wear a halter for a few minutes or hours and see.
