[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 253444, member: 1683"] Has your son had any training or experience with showing cattle? Does he have access to the "show" equipment necessary for cleaning, dressing and combing cattle, and does he have access to facilities for washing and bathing and hair training, and can his calf be kept out of the sun during the day, and still have the ability to exercise and walk the heifer after sundown? Does he know all the "tricks' of showing cattle, and is he prepared to accept the decisions of the judges without losing his demeanor and using the experience as a time of learning and growing up in the world of disappointments? And . . . this is very important . . . is your son knowledgeable about the [i]purposes[/i] of selecting a calf (or any age show animal) and the Genotype and Phenotype that is necessary to succeed in being successful in today's current Beef Cattle environment? And - - - is your son [b]DEDICATED[/b] in accepting the responsibilities that go with preparing and showing a calf? It is NOT a game that can be played only when he wants to play! It actually is a whole new life style. I wish your son good learning and successful experiences in his efforts. DOC HARRIS [/QUOTE]
