For the next few weeks I'm going to prepare a heifer for an Expo event. Halter breaking will also be a part of the training. Watching this video makes me feel a bit uneasy right now 😬 It's the first time I'm gonna do something like this 😅
How interesting. The handlers stay calm and that helps the cows stay calm too. That is a real art in handling them. I like watching the handlers touch them and reassure them they are safe. I want to know how you teach them to follow a handler around a ring. That takes some training too. Thanks for the video.
They judge bulls by visual appraisal mostly. Genetics are important by the numbers, but visual appraisal by confirmation, muscling, and "the look" is what matters most. If you do not like how an animal looks, then you will probably not like the look of its offspring and all the statistics in the world on an animal will not change that
oh man, you just brought back a memory to me that i hadn't thought of in a long, long time. i used to go to rodeos a lot with my grandparents (on both sides of the family) and my one grandpa took me with him to cattle auctions. oh man. that was so cool. hadn't thought about it in years. i think they auctioned pigs and sheep as well, as i recall. this was back in the 60s. i loved that auctioneer talk. how fun those times were.
In Eastern Oregon with Elkhorn Mountains as our backdrop on the high desert near Baker City, Oregon. We wagon trained from Missouri to Oregon in 1862 and have never moved since. It is a good place to raise cattle.
Duane Chandler great thanks for the reply pard hell I'm just down the road from ya In Idaho! You boys ever need a hand hell GIMMY A shout I can be there in 5 hrs! sho nuff
D MCCORD 3 full time employees. we have 2700 acres and raise all our own hay, but we buy grain to background calves in our feedlot. we sell 400 head annually and most females are sold for breeding stock. we keep top 20% bulls and steer the rest.
Having grown up on a dairy farm the time the calves (holstein) we had for the most part got to this size we considered them heifers. What is the purpose of halter training them? Are they more than beef cattle? Thanks for the reply.
Hi Duane, former farmer and rancher, sheep, goats and a few beef to eat. Love watching you handle those calves and the big bulls! Great videos and I love your commentary. Take care!

You will be ok. Be consistent and smooth with her. No loud noises or quick movements.
@@ChandlerHerefords Thanks for the tip. When an expert says "you'll be ok" it's always reassuring 😉
Hats off to you guys. Not an easy job. Some stubborn son of a guns.
Again another awesome video. Thanks❤

I agree, there's some cattleman skill going on here, great to see.
Great set up Duane. Good for the calves and you all.
Great vid guys, well done
New sub. Great work gentlemen.
It looks like you guys make your own halters. Maybe make a video one day on creating halters.
Will do. When we make the halters this fall I will get a video of it and post it. Great idea shaker LT1350.
Yes, I'd like to see it as well. Thanks!
The cows are mooing while the cowboys are halter breaking the calves!!!🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄
Lol what did I get myself into
So you wear those chaps just like in old cowboy movies:)
It's like trying to corral 50 five year old kids!
With each weighing 500 pounds :)
I went to the Melbourne show today and I was just wondering how do they judge the Bulls plus I subbed u

Hi who are more likely to be the most aggressive the younger steers or the older bulls ?

Duane how many guys work in the farm? I'm small square hay farmer in Mississippi
Three full time employees that live on the ranch along with dad and myself.

Why don't they do this when they are calves?
lol...These are calves. Calves of much younger age will forget that training when they are mature. Thanks for the questions. Thanks for watching.
