Read About Choosing Livestock Halters

Whether you're showing your animals or transporting them, a good halter is essential in safely handling them.

Things to Consider:

  • The Right Halter – There are halters especially made for specific breeds. Be sure to purchase a halter that is specific to your animal's breed. Take note of the size, material and design as these make for a proper fit.

  • The Handler – Depending on who will be leading the animal, it might be better to have a halter with a good handle on the end. Using just a rope can be difficult for young hands to hold on to. Use gloves if needed for added grip.

  • Storing – Be sure that the halter, once removed, is safely stored away from your animal. This should not be left in a stall where it may injure your pet.
