[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 530659, member: 615"] This is actually very far from the truth... I'll get to why shortly. The Horn Showcase, while called a "show", is not a "show" in the traditional sense. It is just a horn measuring contest. Basically what happens: Cattle Arrive, Horns Measured, Results Announced, Cattle Leave. There are many other activities for the owners going on, but as far as cattle, thats it. You actually are not even showing off the cattle, just their horns. Regular Texas Longhorn shows are much the same of any other breed shows, [u]except[/u] there are no grooming chutes allowed, and no generators allowed for the aide of clipping or trimming. Trimming is very much allowed, and encouraged, even at the show, as long as there are no grooming chutes or generators. Although, Dale is correct in regards to polishing or sanding the horns, or polishing the hooves. I have been showing Texas Longhorns for 20 years this spring, so if you have any questions at all please feel free to ask. I am more than happy to help in any way I can. If you have a chance stop by our website and check out our Longhorns. Ryan [/QUOTE]
