    daughter's show heifer

    My daughter showed her heifer today. She is 10 months and has been doing so well at shows. My daughter did have issues with her leading previously but with increased training and showing she has been near about perfect the last month, maybe a little more....until today. She was actually behaving...

    Emergency brake halter

We purchased one a while back for my daughter's heifer.  She was born on our place and has been handled by us since day one...she was a bit head strong .

    advice needed on what's best for conditioning...

    My daughter has a hereford heifer she just took on....7ish months old. She's currently on Purina show feed. We're looking to condition her asap. She just needs a lot of fat I guess...muscle as well ofcourse. She wasn't feed out before we got her. I was wondering what might work faster. Also most...
