[QUOTE="poultryrancher, post: 573647, member: 7064"] He did GREAT :banana: . Behavior wise. I got to the fairgrounds at 6:30 this morning, and we went for a walk. A looooong walk, up and down the fairway, before all the fairgoers got there or the fair opened. The vet said it was a good idea, my steer leader said I'd lose control of him and he'd get away ( :| I ignored him because he's a mean, poor sportsman who wanted me to do badly and almost succeeded :mad: ). We walked for at least a quarter of mile. Then, when I got back, I got him in a wash rack and washed him, dried him, learned how to clip (my wonderful steer leader--the same one who didn't want me to walk my steer--never taught us how to clip :roll: :help: ), and clipped his whole head. And that made him look alot less "bully". Then I just had time to brush him and change into my showmanship clothes before conformation started. I was very scared, but stayed pretty calm. And he was just a bit tired from his walk (hehehe), so he walked in and was just a doll baby. We placed fifth out of five in conformation. Yeah, sad I know. The judge said he needs more finish and is "too green" in his finish. I know he's right. Showmanship went just about as well....Red ribbon. But my steer was very well behaved through it all, and I am so thankful! [/QUOTE]
