I haven't watched that particular video, but a few years back, RFDTV had a show about halter breaking a calf that I suspect used the same method. I know you used to be able to order videos from them for around $20. The young man halter broke a bull calf in nothing flat, it was pretty amazing to watch. He put the calf in a small pen and got in with him with a show stick. He kept scratching the calf until it started to calm down. When he could get close enough, he slipped the halter on and kept scratching. He'd pull gently to one side and get the calf to take a couple of steps, then he would scratch some more with the show stick. He kept repeating this process, getting the calf to take a few steps when the rope was pulled on. When he felt comfortable, he moved to little bit bigger pen. If I remember correctly, he added a little length to the rope so he could keep a hold of the calf if the calf wanted to move farther away. The whole point was to never pull so hard that the rope caused the calf pain. It didn't take long and he was able to tie the calf to the fence. I do remember that he said if the calf started fighting the rope to untie him immediately and keep scratching and leading him in a circle. He said sometimes you are able to tie them up the first day and sometimes not. We've started using this method on our calves and I love it. The only thing different we do is to halter them the first time in the chute and then put them in the small pen. It's easier then to just pick up the end of the rope than to try to get up to a calf that is really flighty. They break just as quickly as our old methods and there's never swollen heads. We've even started doing this with our baby calves when we have the cows up to AI. We just pen the baby, start scratching and put the halter on. Even though we don't try to completely halter break them at this point, it's amazing how much of this they've retained at weaning. They respect the rope so much more than the ones who haven't been handled up to that point. Sure wish I'd have learned this method 20 years ago! Good luck!
