Way To Halter Break Purebread Cattle

Way To Halter Break Purebread Cattle LIVESTOCK Beef 22-5-34 I've come up with a way to halter break my purebred cattle. When I enter a stall to work with a bull or heifer calf, I use a 4-ft. sq. section of plywood, equipped with a handle at the top, to serve as a kick plate.
