So I have been asked back by my old 4-H Club to do a clipping clinic on Friday. I am so excited I hardly slept last night! I have a plan in mind, and I am almost content on what I want to cover in the clinic. The thing is, most of the kids in the club are BARELY interested in cattle. Probably 90% of them will never go on to show cattle ever in their life. They are in 4-H because they are "trying" it out, or the parents forced them, or they like the cheque from their steer every year. I am very frustrated at this, but yet so darn excited to teach them how to properly clip. I am planning on explaining clippers, blades, and equipment, then showing them how to clip much like Kirk Steirwelt does. I am going to have to keep it VERY short, as many of the kids wont be paying any attention after an hour, and many of them wont care what I am talking about.
My question for everyone is....What are some things that I should be sure NOT to miss?? Anybody had this same situation before? How did you handle it?
