MSU Winter Beef Checklist/Supply List?

[LindseysMaine_Angus]

So, a couple of friends and I are taking heifers and steers down to the MSU show in december, thing is this is our first show outside of the county fair...other than our chutes cattle and blowers what all should we bring? It may sound like a dumb question but we are still veryyyyyy novice.

Not a dumb question and I apologize if some of the things I will mention are obvious:

- Feed for the at least an extra day as we have been stuck there before because of the weather
- Bedding for inside the barn - unless you purchased some with the sign up
- Gates and a fan if you have them
- Bedding for tie-outs (straw) if you plan to tie out (I would recommend it)
- Feed pans and water buckets
- Grooming supplies and equipment including extension cords
- Warm clothes
- Patience - it is a good but busy show especially the steer show

I hope this helps

Thanks PeeWee(; see ya there? We'll have cross bred steers and commercial breeding heifers.

Maybe some chairs and a cooler for drinks? Probably won't sit a whole lot but they're a nice thing to have.
