[QUOTE="cowgirlxupx1034, post: 395573, member: 5373"] I feel embaressed to ask this but I will anyway.... What can I do to practice clipping besides clipping on my cattle? I'm not sure exactly how to do everything yet. Last year a beef project advisor clipped my steer but I'm not still sure. Here's what I know: Head and Neck- clip up on the nose and forehead clip down on the cheeks clip up on the brisket and neck Loin area and rear quarter- the entire loin and back area should be trimmed flat on top with hair left on the loin edge Hip- The area closest to the top of the tail is trimmed closely and in an outward motion, leaving most of the hair on the hindquarter edge Leave as much hair as possible on the rear quarter Hair in the twist is shaped to give the desired effect of more muscle development Hair should be blended in on the belly to give a straight and deeper appearance Trim hair tightly around the sheath Rear Leg- Tightly trim the area directly above and in front of the hock The outside area of the hock is shaved down almost to the skin, in approximately a 3 inch area Trim the longer hairs off of the rear leg and leave hair longer Tailhead and Tail- Extend the hair in the tail head area The tail from the tail head down to the switch is shaved closely to a short "v" Trim the rump hair tightly on the back of the hip and go outward Blend the hair outward toward the outside of the hip What I don't understand: How to blend How to extend the hair How to clip when the calf's hair has styling mousse and adhesives in the hair. Thanks so much! [/QUOTE]
