Breaking in a cow at first may not be an easy job! Purposes of breaking them in may be for leading them in shows, having calmer cattle etc.. You start off by getting your cattle used to noise and people, get them familiar with being around you. Then heard them around in a small paddock that ideally has a crush repeat a route that the cow can follow. Keep them wide around the fence line of the paddock then chase them up into the crush lock them in there for a couple of minutes not to long to completely overload the cow with stress, just along side with noise and talking, and touching of the animals. Get her to get familiar with touches over the face as that is were the halter will being going after a fair bit of following the route. Once this has been done for a while she should be getting familiar to do this herself without much push from you. When these signs are showing attempt to put a halter on, she will not like this at first and may not allow you to do so much getting this on will encourage her to be handled. Keep repeating the track with the halter on for another couple of laps then lock her back into the crush attach a lead rope and see how she responds hold her head up high and tie it to the crush nice and tight so hardly no movement will be present. Pat her down her body nice and slow whilst talking do this for a while. Now release her from the crush and try and hold her with your lead rope, she will spin and turn which is completely natural. You will get dragged by her, it is something that just happens as it is a natural instinct for the cow, but it is very worth it in the end. Try and lead her around that same route nice and calm no canes or anyone behind her as of yet as she is starting new and you don't want to frighten her from being lead. Cows are rather smart and have a good memory just to keep in mind ! But overall that is the basics on how to break in a cow. For further tips on this or showing/leading/clipping cattle just submit the question to my wall

Does cow tipping break the legs of the cow?
No, because the cow goes over on its side not onto its legs.
What type of symbiosis is bacteria living in the intestines of a cow to help break down cellulose?
Mutualism - both the bacteria and the cow benefit from this relationship. The bacteria help break down cellulose in the cow's intestines, providing nutrients for both the bacteria and the cow.
Does cow's hide break down in water?
No it does not. Cow hide, due to the phospholipids present in the cells of any epithelial tissue, is hydrophobic, which means it resists and will not rot nor break down in water.
What type of symbiotic a bacteria living in the testine of a cow to help it break down cellulose?
Yes! (is there more you need for this question?) "Symbiotic anaerobic bacteria" Cellulomonas is one such example.
How do you defeat a spider elephant cow?

Is dried hard corn a good feed for a cow?
It is if it's processed enough that the microbes in the cow's rumen can break it down and digest it. It would be a waste of money to feed if it's fed whole/unprocessed and not much nutrient can be gleaned from it by either the microbes or the cow.
What is the chamber in a cow's body where bacteria break down chewed up grass?
That would be the rumen, which is the first chamber out of four in a cow's stomach. The other three chambers are the reticulum, omasum and abomasum.
What kind of symbiotic relationship is bacteria living in a cow's stomachs help them break down the cellulose in grass?
Symbiotic.
What should we do to break the dry period of a cow?
Breed her and wait around 285 days until she gives birth to a calf.
What is cow gizzard?
Nothing. Cows don't have gizzards, birds do. Where chickens have gizzards to break down food, cows have rumens.
Do you need to grind corn to feed a cow?
No, but it does make it easier for the microbes in the cow's rumen to break down and digest. Processed corn--corn which is rolled, ground or crushed--breaks the lignin comprising the skin of the corn kernel and breaks the protein matrix surrounding the starch granules. All of this make the nutrients in the kernel much easier for the ruminal bacteria to access, break down and use for their own nutritive needs before it goes to the cow.
