My daughter's heifer is terrified of water! If she is tied and we attempt to spray her with a hose, she will completely freak out, to the point I am afraid she will hurt herself. I have tried holding the lead rope and spraying her, but she reacts just the same. I start by letting her lick the water, and can let the water run onto her neck, and she is somewhat ok, but when it starts running down her sides and dripping off her belly, she goes bezerk! I have not tried putting her in a trim shoot, as I was afraid she might hurt herself. I have tried running the hose over her hooves and lower legs as well, and starting at the bottom, but the reaction is no less severe. We have a practice show coming up and she needs a washing bad! She's a brahman, if that makes a difference. Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
