I am not saying it is ok to cheat but some of you all need to get a life...turning in someone to the association and the state fair people. I have no idea who this kid is and i am not defending him but some folks just need to mind their own dang business. All this is doing is starting a witch...

TELL YOU THE TRUTH I JUST CUT THEM OFF AND NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THEM ANYMORE. I WOULD SAY PROBABLY ABOUT 5 DAYS LATER THEY WILL START TO COVER BACK UP.

we just always lance them off and put them in the feed. never have put any ointments on them. usually never have any problems with them again. but just cutting them off is fine.

barker did not do the pictures at ft. worth this year or last year i know for sure.

hey man haven't you heard the old saying it ain't cheatin if you don't get caught? good job, you just ratted yourself out!

i think i have been in this deal long enough and had enough winners to know what works and doesn't. it is something i'd rather not use cause it CAN mess the front end up on one. but in all reality if people would buy the right kind of calves in the beginning that have the muscle you wouldn't...

paylean is fine as long as they are sound when you give it to them. you only wanna feed it for about 30 days before you go to a major. if they dont make the sale sont give any for another week or two and then you can start back up on it. its def not somethgin you wanna give all year long though.

yeah but it doesnt work near as good as an implant or the paylean.

YEAH RAMPS CAN WORK AND THEY CAN ALSO SCREW ONE UP STRUCTURE WISE. I HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN TRUST ME.

YEAH THERE ARE SEVERAL SUPPLEMENTS YOU CAN GIVE THEM THAT CONTAIN PAYLEAN IN IT IS WHAT WE USE. THEY ARE APPROVED AS WELL AS IMPLANTS SUCH AS REVLAR.

as for them moving around while showing them the best thing to do is just get out there with them 30 min a day or more and just stick them. have your folks walk around them and put their hands on them like a judge would.

dont do the ramps! it can really mess up a calf on his front end . exercise or putting him in a lot to run around in at night. also some paylean the last 30 days before a show but no longer than 30 days or so. that can really screw one up if given much longer than that. also a good implant about...

i have fed all different kinds of feed and never have found one to be the "best." acco showmaster, martindale feed, lyssy and eckel, and some others are all really good feeds. There are many good kinds out there and some that are not so good. read the labels and ask around. but most importantly...

it depends on what type of calf it is. usually we just start them all out on finisher and adjust accordingly.

ACTUALLY IN TEXAS COUNTY FAIRS RUN ALL TIMES OF YEAR. WINTER, LATE SPRING, AND EARLY SUMMER. JUST DEPENDS WHERE YOU ARE AT.
