has she developed an udder now after the calf came?  and how big was the calf?

I did not see it but my nephew did it a few yrs ago, I believe he had to load and unload from the trailer and walk around and over different things, he thought it was fun and the calf gets exposed to different things before fair.  I think it is more for fun.

My son's cow has always done that also the twine works for us it is a pain, she also chews the end of the halter everytime it is on.

we use either a cheap shampoo or dish soap what ever I grab at the dollar store.

It would be nice for a location to be in the title so you only need to look threw the ones that are in your area

our rules are bred, born and raised in the county.  you can buy the calf from a local breeder or raise it yourself.  we have both a steer class and a heifer class. I would like to get rid of the bred part as we took our cow to get bred somewhere else, yet it was born and raised in the county. ...

If you use the nose tongs I would get them now and try it a few times prior to show, they work great on most steers, my son used them once because his steer had acted up, the steer didn't need them after a few time but he felt more confident with them.

In Ca I paid $16 for alfalfa and oat/forage or whatever you can find is about $14 and it does not look as nice as it usually does.

Thanks

There are a bunch of sales in October you might have to drive a little.  They should start advertising in pacfic showcase pretty soon

was wondering if any one uses the Optimizer tags. Our local feed store has them they say they last up to 5 months

have you tried walking him with another steer? Also do you feed first or walk first, some will work better if they have eaten

when they are really bad I will spray them with hocus pocus before we leave the show them throw them in when we get home. 

we usually put them on a halter and just hold them for the first few times and let them jump and flop around.  we don't really walk our just enough to wash, weigh get to fair....  usually after a few times on the halter they do ok, also helps to walk together.

we have fed showmaster also and I feel the same they eat it great, gain weight but are not putting on the fat, we added corn 2 years ago and it did not have great results but the steer had a huge rib eye.  I like the way they eat showmaster and never had issues besides the fat.  This year we are...
