[QUOTE="hangna, post: 380945, member: 96"] Isaac, To get her ready to show you'll want to train her to keep her head up. Cattle need to be comfortable with this so that when you lead and set her up in the show ring, she won't fight you. A animal that "cooperates" when you're showing gives the judge a chance to get a really good look. Once she is broke to tie (without fighting or pulling back) start tying her with her head "up" when you're rinsing, brushing and blowing her. It's also a good time to scratch her belly and start teaching her to move her feet around when touched with the show stick. Don't leave her alone until she's used to it, but stand her after you're done working with her, while you're cleaning her stall, etc. No more than 30 minutes a day to get started. How high you tie her head will depend on where it looks the best on her. Take a look at some of the Champion photos in the breed magazines and tie her head so it's at the same angle. Stand back and take a look at her. Is her back flat at this angle? If not, made an adjustment. She'll learn pretty soon that when she's in this "pose" it's time to stand still, not look around, rub on you, etc - After she's trained, she wiill automatically move her head to the correct postion when you stop and set her up in the show ring. Good luck [/QUOTE]
