[QUOTE="VCC, post: 793027, member: 6399"] Chris, that's the way my son’s calves have been the last 3 years, after they have been rinsed blow out and tied for a hour he kicks them out in a pasture, they can not go until they set up, it is usually feeding time so they are anxious to get going. He makes them set up and stand still before he takes the halter off. They get to the point as long as he is sticking them he can take the halter off and move around them with out them moving, once he stops using the stick they figure out they are free and take off. I really think as kids become better at learning the animal, what they like and don’t like when it comes to the showstick and how to get their feet set up as you stop so you do not need the showstick all the time. They become more relaxed and better at showing. Some calves like the dewlap scratched others the chest, some like they hook up others move less if the hook is pointed away and it is just the smooth part. These are things you find out at home, that make it easier in the ring. My youngest finished showing this year, he showed steers for 8 years, the last 2 he won senior showmanship, He also won 4-H champion those 2 years. I really believe that his ability to show is what helped him win 4-H Market, as he became a better showman he did better in market. [/QUOTE]
