My daughter's 7 month old show heifer has learned a bad trick!. She yanks the rope from my daughter's hand!!!. She was born on our place, handled since birth, and has been halter trained for several months, even shown in early October and behaved well. My daughter really hasn't been able to do a lot with her besides of course feeding her daily...and working with her on a tiny bit of leading ,setting up in the barn as weather has been horrible. ..raining most weekends and of course it's dark extremely early now. She does tie her as well.
My daughter is all of 100# 17 year old and not very experienced at showing cattle. ...but has handled cattle at our home for years.
I'm not sure what to do. I was considering separating her from the other show heifer thinking that might help. She just started this several weeks back after they were put together. We just started tying her with one of the cruise control cable halters yesterday with her head high and just this evening I thought I'd see if there was any change, my daughter tried to lead her with it on and after about 2 seconds she took off. Not sure if it will make a difference to tie her longer.
