i am doing my last year showing with T&J Farms because i will be graduating and moving to south dakota next fall.  I am showing some really nice calves this year and doing more than just my county fair.  do you think it would be worth buying a blower to use for the year?  When i get to sdsu i...

i tried looking for another thread that adressed this but didnt find one.  I really want to take my old purebred shorthorn heifer (now cow) to show as a cow calf pair but i havnt led her in almost a year.  She was always a little rammy but showed really nice and gentle in the ring.  Now that she...
