[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1774752, member: 42782"] That Molly goes into the head gate but then suddenly rushes backwards is a concern. She would guarantee kicking over the milk bucket, Likely break a horn and possibly hurt you. Have you thought of asking DH to add a stanchion with a butt board? That would confine her for milking so she could not go to fighting the head gate and panic. Daphne has had many half angus calves, 2 were heifers. They were handled from birth, halter broke (which took all summer) but neither made a milk cow because of their innate flightiness. Now I have a pure Jersey heifer from a dairy and she is just as tame and docile as Daphne was. Halter breaking the Jerseys took one day, not all summer. [/QUOTE]
