Thank you to all who answered my question.  Jamie

You see our cattle have the genetics of long hair in the breed.  We usually end up body clipping them 3 weeks before the show and they still have enough.  By body clipping them I mean like 3/4 to 1/2 in.  So we definitly dont need a cooler room.  (lol) Also I have heard of throwing a bucket of...

My dad used to tell me money right before the show and that worked well, but now I just love it!!!!! ;D Jamie

The first four are our purebred Salers calves.  1st two are calves we recently purchased and the next two are out of our herd bull Iron Man.  The last is out of an ex show heifer.  She is red Angus x Simm and her calf is half Salers.  Jamie

How do you get dander out?  I know washing helps but are there certain products you guys use or any tips? Jamie

Looks like she just saw something hilarious. Jamie

Ya I will tell him about the money issue OFS that will get his attention. The cooler rooms are for growing hair right?  Because we never use cooler rooms and they dont have misters or fans in front of them just get washed twice a day and lots of cool water. Jamie

Then I am old school.  Our chains are doubled so they are close to the animals head and I can control mine well that way and my hands are not at harm in the meantime. Jamie

Well I thought so, but my dad wouldn't listen.  (lol) Jamie

OFS do you mix it half and half?  Do you pour it on them or spray? Jamie

You hold onto the leather away from the chain. Jamie

It would be the best show ever.  Notice how they treated both teams equal.  That is how it should be. Jamie

I dont think it is a dumb question because I was getting ready to ask the question myself.  So do you guys use white vinegar? Jamie

I have show sheen but its the same.  So anyways do you put half vin. half KS?  Do you pour it down their backs or do you spray it on? Jamie

That is awsome I guess.  Well it is definitly nice of them not everyone would do that. Jamie

Your really not suppose to hold onto the chain.  I know its is hard but it is a big no no.  Personally I like the rattle of the chain it calms both me and the calf in the ring if i click it quietly. Jamie

boy, dont I know.  Been doing that for the past two days.  But I love it. ;D  Silly critters just have to stay clean... Jamie

I go to three different county fairs and I can only complain about one.  I was in the senior showmanship class and this girl walks in with a low cut shiny shirt that said barn bench (fill it in).  Guess who walked away wit the buckle?  Yep, and I had people coming up to me and telling me that I...

Thats nice the Limmy assn did that a few years ago.  They donated a heifer, a really nice heifer, and all the funds from the tickets went to the junior assn.  Pretty cool (thumbsup)!!! Jamie

The in focus bull seems to be doing well for my uncle.  I don't know the details as far as bw and such but they aren't monsters thats for sure.  Kinda stylish type of calf real showy (if thats a word). Jamie
