[QUOTE="red angus shower, post: 653301, member: 11028"] I agree with you on the hair thing. The only thing I don't get is this. (Happened a couple years ago, too old to show 4-H now) I have had the great luck of being able to put a red angus breeding heifer in a cooler for the summer (May to fair time). I bought her specifically for show, and paid a pretty penny for her out of my own pocket. I rinsed every morning, put in conditioner, and she stayed there from before the sun came up until at least 10 pm. Obviously angus don't have great hair, but she had about 2-3 inches of it when all said and done and it had a nice pop to it, so it didn't lay down. I also lucked out, a pro-fitter was in town working on a friend of mine's calf so I took her over to their place and he clipped her up for the show. Show day came and since I am not the greatest fitter in the world, so I had another 4-Her help me fit. I go in for showmanship (and not to sound conceited, I have won showmanship at various levels) and do my thing. I ended up being picked to win, but the judge still had the nerve to say that my heifer needed more hair, and it wouldn't have been as close of a selection if she had more. The kid who got reserve had a steer out of Kadabra, tons of hair. I think in [i]showmanship[/i] the hair shouldn't be emphasisized, especially when you are trying to pick between a kid showing a clubby steer and a kid showing a PB breeding heifer, and the breed being one that doesn't particularly grow hair well. 2 steers, fine. End rant.. :D Your barn looks nice! I love having the kids help with it, too many now a days have mommy and daddy do it all for them. [/QUOTE]
