[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 629635, member: 968"] Congrats on finding a Simm x Angus heifer!!! You should have at least 60 days from July to a September show. Plenty of time, if calf is worked with daily. And from previous posts, I think you & son are persistant. I can have a calf in pretty good shape in 2 weeks for a show. 60 days is a little short of time for her condition, but if she is in good condition at the time of weaning, she should be OK. Just don't PUSH it. Remember, taking her slow with grain is better than pushing her too fast. Start out with 1% of her body weight (or less - see what she will clean up) of a good 14-15% protein ration (per day). All the good grass hay she will eat. After 7 days, increase her grain. Be sure to check out seller's health program. Hopefully, she will be fully vaccinated prior to your purchase - if not, get it done ASAP - and deworm. As suggested, if allowed, might be good to show yearling in showmanship class. And, wouldn't hurt to show her in breed class (if one available). Just be sure your son knows that placing high is not very likely and that he knows it's just for the fun & experience. Besides, showmanship is the MOST important class juniors show in, as far as I'm concerned. [/QUOTE]
