Habituating Highland Cattle calves to tolerate humans

A procedure to habituate Highland Cattle calves to humans evolved with four years' experimentation on one farm by one male human handler. Data includes results of 18 bull and 20 heifer calves, from 14 dams and 4 sires. In 24 cases, they were fearless and easy to handle all the time. Fearful 8 heifer and 6 bull calves got little or unpleasant handling during first weeks.
