At Chandler Herefords, they halter break all of the bulls for sale each year and all of the breeding replacement heifers going back into the herd.

The procedure is as follows:

Separate cows from calves
Pen all calves tight enough such that they can’t run while each calf receives a halter
Calves with halters to moved to pens with enough space to tie up
Work and tie each calf calmly
Leave tied all day
Untie calves calmly in afternoon
Repeat steps 1-6 second day (this video was taken on day 2 therefore calmer calves than the first day)

amhnetwork — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 04:33:44 +0000

The Australian Miniature Hereford Breeders Network Inc., held a Virtual Cattle Show for Miniature Herefords via the internet in June, 2011. The results for that show can be seen here . Because the show was a great success AMHBN has decided to hold another one this year.

Details of the Virtual Cattle Show for Miniature Herefords 2012 can be seen here

The AMHBN is an incorporated society fully recognised by HAL (Herefords Australia Ltd) and thinks this would be a good way to showcase stock as well as promote the breeding of Miniature Herefords. This is especially the case for those who live too far away from any show centres or have no means of getting to one.
