Doesn't seem right. We've been to a show where people were taking clippers as soon as you left your stall for the ring. It is really sad for the kid who saved to buy the clippers not to mention very difficult to keep that close of an eye on all your stuff.
I am a new poster and am really beginning to get the relevance of many of the topics. From what to use on showday to what sire I might chose next. I really like this forum!
Not too many groomers can get their calf show ready without a chute. So, count on needing one. If you can't buy new, the second best would be used. I believe with your circumstances, (no scrap metal or welding tools) you would cost yourself a bunch of money.
According to the national news, there is NOTHING you can do about bed bugs which is really a hard one to swallow. Guess we should all be trying to invent that product!
Yeah, seems like all the above posts got it right. Fans, brushing and conditioning. Also, keep them stress free like when traveling to shows keep them on feed w something like appetite express so they don't skip feedings and use cattle calm.
