I am new to showing calves and I have a few questions. I am hoping someone does'nt mind giving me some assistance.
1)It is my understanding that air conditioned rooms are used to promote hair condition & growth, increase appetites and give more comfort to the animal during the summer heat. What are the pro's and con's?
2) How many days prior to a show should the animal start staying in the conditioned space and what temperature range?
3) I assume that they can be turned out in the evening, after the sun goes down for additional exercise?
4) Is it recommended that they get rinsed daily and blown dry before entering conditioned space?
Any and all recommendations are appreciated. Thanks
