[QUOTE="tom4018, post: 404579, member: 55"] :idea: :idea: :idea: 1. Maybe the younger kids should only be allowed to show a smaller calf...one that they can handle more. One that is no taller than their arm will reach while holding the head up. That is one reason their arms get so tired. Another reason, [b]could be[/b] where they are not building their muscles enough from their work. 2. Maybe there should be a rule for an older calf to be able to show, they have to be shown as a smaller calf [u]and[/u] continue being worked with between seasons. 3. I, also, can see leading [u]some[/u] for a 'smaller' kid, as long as, the kid grooms, waters, etc. At some shows, I don't even see that. Parents and older siblings should let the exhibitor do the work and be there just for backup. 4. If you do it for them, they become dependant and expect it in everything. Give a person a meal or teach them to fish, hunt, etc., which will it be? :?: [/QUOTE]
