My daughter is going to show a cow-calf pair at the county fair next week. We have a small cattle show that starts at 1:00 pm, by the time we get through showmanship and on to the calves and pairs it will most likely be 2:30 or so. If the show was in the morning I would let the calf nurse at night and then not nurse until the afternoon but with the show later in the afternoon I am thining the calf (which will also show as a feeder calf) and cow will be fairly hard to handle if I don't let them nurse. I am thinking that if I let the calf nurse at 6:30 or 7 by afternoon I shoud have a fairly full bag again...what do you think?
