NEED HELP WITH SHOWING CALF

[LOVESMOOS]

I HAVE A REGISTERED HOLSTEIN CALF AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE I CAN GET INFORMATION AND POSSIBLY A VIDEO ON HOW TO SHOW HIM. THANKS

 

[AAOK]

There is quite a bit of information and several links on this website: http://www.geocities.com/bowieffa/cattle.html

Should get you started.

Showing a dairy is ALOT different than showing a beef.

I'd try the Hoard's Dairyman magazine. Contact them, the editor or someone connected to the publication. They can point you in the right diresction.

Or call your local extention office.

You said him. Are you showing a steer? Do they even still show holstein bulls anymore?

Certherbeef,
I've been meaning to tell you, I enjoy seeing the Patrick Henry quote on your posts. It's one of my favorites.

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."

Thanks, couldn't put the whole quote on there (too long it told me) or I would have.

I'm tickled you recognized it.

Whatever you say scott, but this feller sounds like a young-un and freddy 4-Hers have to where all white. Especially in showmanship.
And if you want to toss out years...I showed holsteins for 21 years. ;-)

When I showed in open class, I wore a white shirt with the farm name on the back and black jeans...but that is a BIG NO-NO in 4-H.

I'm not sure how you determind that I was a young-un or a feller from my question, of which I am neither . Thanks everyone for your help. I have seen people wear black jeans and white shirts and also white on white. Now I am not sure *lol* what to wear!!!!

 

[milkmaid]

For what it's worth, I showed with black jeans and a white shirt in Dairy 4H this past summer. Quality and showmanship. Same as all the other 4Hers.

why dont you go all out and wear a black shirt and white pants? (but not after labor day)

 

[Beefy]

if someone was showing a brown holstein could he/she wear brown pants?

 

[madbeancounter1]

Don't know about other places but watching Wes Hudson judge dairy today everyone was wearing white on white. Seem to remember it's been that way at every show I've watched since I was 4 when my dad was showing Holsteins.
