I was wondering, what are the advantages of using a cable halter? Do they provide more control/apply more pressure than a leather show halter with a prong lead?
I've never used used a cable halter before and was wondering what the difference was between them. I've seen some cattle flip out and cannot be led with cable halters, and the rest adjust their feet with slight pressure from the halter.
Currently my steer this year, is quite a hand full. He will walk and stand perfect for me until he gets cranky. Then, he will try and drag me across the ring. It's not terrible anymore; however, I do use a leather show halter with a barbed lead. It provides a little more control then the rope halter I find, but it still takes a lot of pulling and smacking him to get him to listen. So, I was wondering if a cable halter would make it easier; however, I don't think so. I also won't be buying one this year for my steer. He goes to auction in one month.
