Raising a Family Dairy Cow Pt. 3: How to Halter Break a Full-grown Cow. *Please note that this is a similar method to halterbreaking a calf, but handling a grown cow usually requires more force and strength. Do not attempt this if you are not reasonably fit physically.
Some of my viewers may notice and not like that I smack this cow several times, either with my hand or the end of the rope. I do this only when necessary to enforce what I am trying to teach her and it does not injure the cow in any way. (They are MUCH more violent with each other.) The cow must respect the handler, and applying force is sometimes necessary to teach that respect.
