[QUOTE="Keren, post: 846605, member: 3195"] You may have a point there. Not enough exposure. While I commend the kids for their dedication I do object to some of the extremes. Washing a bovine with ice water continually until it hunches its back - an obvious sign the calf is cold, and putting ice on its back. As livestock owners/carers we do have a duty of care to our animals to ensure their welfare, one of the basics of which is the five freedoms, which includes freedom from pain and discomfort including from weather extremes and I just see this as intentionally caused. The other thing I don't agree with is the calves only seeing an hour or two daylight, which compromises both welfare and health. Just to clarify, I do show, I love it and i'm not pointing fingers at anyone just merely stating my bewilderment at the way these practices benefit the showman at the expense of the calf [/QUOTE]
