Ears Forward in the Show Ring

heatherleblanc · Apr 29, 2015

So I know how to get my calf's ears forward in the show ring, but I find I'm constantly having to get at her, she won't keep them forward. But I have seen people who manage to keep them forward the entire show, and I was wondering if you had any tips or tricks you were willing to share.

Don't stress about having the ears forward the entire time. It is more important that they are set up correctly and stay set up until you are pulled in or asked to move forward. You can make some kissing or clicking noises to try and get them forward but some judges will tell you that is annoying. Good luck with your projects.

I agree, I even heard judges make that comment. The ones you see with ears forward all the time may have a lot to do with the calves personality. I'd rather have one laid back then on high alert, but there is a fine line sometimes.
