Well you could breed her if her next heat is before the show.

You can feed her MGA, that suspends heats. Could probably get it from your local feed mill

By "a needle" do you mean a drug, medication, or Rx injection? (I assume you do).

Oh, I was wondering if she was refering to acupunture? :cboy: ;-)

As Dun said, I would pick up a bag of MGA crumbles. They don't need very much, but I think I would start her on it about a week before the show.

MGA is a feed additive that makes them "hold" their egg/cycle until you pull them off of the product. You usually feed it for 30 days than breed them on their 2ND cycle.
A LUTALYSE shot can be given 6 to about 12 days AFTER she cycles and it will make her come into heat in 2-3 days. Using this will CHANGE her cycling days - if you have time. It won't work the last 6 days of her cycle. So if she is cycling every 18 days - the shot will get response from day 6 thru day 12.
You have to get Lutalyse from the Vet.
