Heifer update

Well I was beginning to think the heifer was not going to be ready in the slightest bit for the shows at the end of June. Two days ago she finally let me lead her around some. She is in no way done, but it was a big step forward. I still keep out of range of those back legs. They are brutal! She is also not real fond of bathing. I have been rinsing her down a few times and it is getting better as well. I will make an effort to clean her up this weekend and get a couple of pictures of her to put on here. Summer vacation for Jenna (and me) is right around the corner. WOOHOO!

Almost perfect!

Just wanted to say that the weather has been as close to perfect as possible! Sun shining, around 80 degrees, no humidity, and most of all, NO RAIN for a few days!

Halter Breaking Update.

Well, about six day into breaking and making more progress than expected. After the machine gun kicking I got this past weekend I figured it was going to be a very drawn out process. I had her tied to the fence for an hour tonight. She even let me brush her for a while tonight. She seems to be relaxing a bit. Thank goodness!

Halter Breaking... or something along those lines.

Well I know that is a pretty fancy looking leg there, but I digress. This is the aftermath of the first day putting the halter on the heifer and tieing her up for a little while. I made the bad decision to get about six inches closer than I should have. It was like a machine gun going off with the rapid fire that was coming at my shin. I guess we live and learn. Even though this is a lesson I learned a long time ago, refresher... I will not lose this battle of the wills! She is hard headed but she shall soon see I am too!
