We had a calf do that, it wasn't due to lice either. What had happened is she had gotten a fever and got so hot that hair on her brisket and legs began to fall out. There really is nothing you can do other then let it grow back. :D

I know that in the all the Canadian shows that I have been to (that is where I am from) we don't give the judge a handshake during the show. I have to agree that it is very disruptive and almost rude, although the kid's have no intention of being rude. I would have to say that the best way to...

I would agree on getting her tested. She is an amazing heifer though!

I agree, I mean showmanship should be based upon appearance but standing out too much is not good. I mean your trying to draw attention to your animal not yourself. Sure you have to be dressed nice and if you have long hair tie it back or present it neatly, but still a good showman should be...

Question #1- Actually as far fetched as it sounds to get rid of ring worm we used lube oil for machinery. I wouldn't use it around the eyes as in your case but for the general use in the herd for on the head ect... it works quite well. Question #2- Ringworm will go away on its own after it runs...

I feed 1% body weight of a show steer ration, its called Unifeed. I alow them free choice premium 1st and 2nd cut alphalfa hay. :)

I have been in 4-H for several years, shown in many shows in Alberta and BC. I have never had the chance to make it down to the states yet but I look forward to going when I do. Well onto the main topic. Every year my steer just isn't quite finished, he still needs at least another 100 pounds...
