Instructions
Place the cow in a small pen or chute to minimize its opportunities for escape. Offer the animal some food to keep it busy.
Hold the part of the cattle halter with the lead rope in your left hand, leaving the nose piece open. Grasp the head stall in your right hand, which is the part of the halter that goes over the ears.
Walk to the cow's left side. Arrange the chin strap underneath the animal's chin and guide the nose piece up its nose with your left hand. Locate the nose piece approximately 2 inches beneath the animal's eyes.
Guide the head stall over the cow's head and behind its ears. For horned cattle, ensure that the head stall is behind the horns, as well as the ears.
Tie the animal to a post with the lead rope at the height of its chin.
