We have had cattle for years but my daughter just started showing. We have a brahman heifer and she just took on a new project. ...a 6 month old Hereford heifer. She is a true "project". She came with a group of Hereford we purchased and was just separated from her momma...not really handled til now but seems to be fairly calm. We just started her on feed as she is undernourished and needs filling out especially in her hip area. She stands and tracks nicely. ..slightly turns out on her back feet (I'm hoping with a little proper feeding and muscle development this will correct) ANYWAY I'm not sure of the proper order of training for a fluffy heifer. ..she just started dragging halter. My daughter can scratch her head when she dumps her feed to her. At some point we have to bath her and blow her. I wasn't sure if she should be leading good before that?...how long should we expect to get to that point. I want to take the proper time but not drag our feet.
