[QUOTE="showing71, post: 854913, member: 11621"] I've never done it in showmanship - you're supposed to be on your best behavior, as is the calf. I'm glad the judge placed her the way he did. I've been to far too many shows where kids who have calves who act up continuously get Champion, because the judge says 'they tried really hard while their calf was acting up.' Granted, the showman would keep their cool, but there would be another kid doing just as well and his calf would be on perfect behavior and he'd end up in the middle of the pack. Ok, end of rant. In other classes like the age/breed class, yes I have popped them on the nose with the showstick if they are pushing me around, etc. But it's usually only a pop on the nose once, not continuously. And my calves know what that means, because I do it at home when we lead and set up when they aren't behaving, so they know to knock it off when they get a pop. [/QUOTE]
