[QUOTE="Cheyenne, post: 338871, member: 1519"] Ok, so we only show 4-H once a year and this will be my son's first time in market steer. My son is 10. He has a AngusxHereford, all black not a baldy. This calf has what I would consider to be alot of hair. I am thinking that even though the calf isn't perfect that I am going to have my son slick sheer him even though it isn't required for our fair. After reading this thread I have learned what peeling is, so my question is when you slick sheer should we go with the hair or against the hair? We are new to all this and our club doesn't have many livestock entries. Us and one other family. So I don't really have anyone to consult locally. I don't want to hire a "jock" as that will teach my son nothing. I guess I will have to order a couple of videos. I guess I would welcome opinions also as to wether or not we should slick sheer. I feel that this will give my son the experience of clipping a calf without having to learn to block etc right now. We can learn this as we go and gain experience. I noticed alot of other livestock being shown at our fair this way so I don't think he will be at too much of a disadvantage for not having a "box" looking calf. Thanks for your help.
