We have a young heifer that is halter broke, but won't walk unless someone is behind her poking her to. What can we do to fix this problem? Thanks!

Have a certified animal chiropractor check her cervical spine. Sometimes pulling on the halter will cause pain and they will resist leading. G-Luck

lead her with another calf and see if she will follow
