A friend of mine’s son has a heifer that tends to stick her head forward while being shown. Instead of holding her head up, she extends her neck and sticks her nose in the air. It just looks goofy. Anyone have any suggestions to correct this?  He has tried a regular lead chain and a pronged lead - no difference.

Is that how she is tied up?

I'm not sure, but I had the same thought - have to ask them.  I do remember this same family had a limmi a couple of years ago, that did the same thing, I let them use our pronged lead, and it corrected.  That may be the issue.
