    Need advice on clipper blades.

    As you clip you'll develop your own personal style, and have a preference of blades. Different people use different blades. I personally hate a #10, but its a good blade for people just starting out. I use mediums, super blocking's, x-block's, and a 5/16". I start out with a medium to shave...

    Any goat showers out there?

    I showed goats when I first started out like 10 years ago, and I only did it for two years before going to pigs and cattle. My first year of showing, bracing a goat off the ground like a lamb was considered taboo in my county. I showed quite a bit, gained some experience, and the next year it...

    Opinions on Heifer

    I'd run her as Market. She's not lacking in guts, but she's not a tank either. That combined with her huge hip and power gives her a more terminal/market look IMO.

    Showmanship

    I don't either. If it comes down to two(or more) really good showmen I like questions though. It shows you who is really doing the work.  <beer>

    No misters at Illinois State Fair

    I think it was called slick vs. hair. It was a pretty good thread

    No misters at Illinois State Fair

    It is only for the jr. shows. I dug back a little bit, and found an old post from Chambero that pretty much sums it all up. Houston could go back to full fit if they wanted to, but there's NO way San Antonio could. We had trouble running blowers at the open show this year with hardly anybody...

    implants

    They work, but its not a -feed and forget- type of deal. You still have to work with them daily and you will see good results.

    implants

    melatoninimplants.com When you say implants people automatically think of growth hormone implants because they are the most popular, and are what is associated with the term "implants". Their website has all the information you need to know, but its not going to be any cheaper than feeding...

    Looking for a good place to have Jr. Nationals in TX

    The only other one I can think of other than the one's listed would be Houston, but I'm sure that would be a little pricey.

    Simmi Show Heifers

    Simmi's are natural a little heavier fronted. It's just a breed characteristic. Usually the clean fronted one's don't have enough power, and the powerful one's aren't clean fronted. If she's a tank with tons of power she should be a little heavy fronted. If she's not buy her and get ready to win...

    implants

    Research. Obviously they've done none because there is a ton of information on the internet about implant programs, types, amounts, etc... Asking a question like they did makes me think they heard someone else say "hey implants make your calf grow better and faster" so they thought hey I think...

    Showmanship

    Twistedhshowstock pretty much hit the nail on the head. One of my biggest pet peeve's is seeing someone hold their show halter on the leather(Cut the leather lead down to size. I HATE seeing an exhibitor drag a bunch of slack around the ring) where their hand is a foot above the calf's head...

    No misters at Illinois State Fair

    This country still is and strives to be the best of the best. It simply doesn't make economical sense to overhaul the power system in the barn. It's not that they don't want people to show up. If they doubled entry fees, and created new fees to cover it everybody would gripe about the rising...

    No misters at Illinois State Fair

    I agree with twistedhshowstock, down here I've never had a problem and I've never used misters at a show. I'm very pro-hair you could say, and I don't like the -level playing field idea of slicking- but slicking is easy. Unless you keep your calf in a cooler where it doesn't see the light of...
