[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 610081, member: 7275"] I agree with the other posters here. It is against JR. rules for the calf to be out of the kids hands during his supposed ownership peroid. Show officials, County agents and Ag teachers all know it happens but it is hard for them to enforce (for a multitude of reasons). I always thought that a project was supposed to be a family affair but as my children reached showing age, I soon learned that some kids always happened to have another cousin that was a great cattle fitter (wink wink). We just learned how to out do the jocks. My kids and I got to where we could out-select them, out-feed them and out-fit them. We even knew where to find them. Dawgone we just never could seem to out-spend'em. Usually if they can hire a fitter they will have deep pockets. Never won a big one but had plenty of class and divison winners. Never ever had a hired hand other than a part time high schooler that fed when we were away. What I'm trying to get to is that the potential bitterness is not worth you waisting your time over. Spend your time learning the cattle and teaching the kids. I once heard that when a bank teaches a new teller about conterfiet money, they spend the majority of their time working with the real stuff. Your time will be best spent by learning with and teaching your kids whats right. But do not settle for mediocrity if you're gonna compete. Merry Christmas to all :santa: [/QUOTE]
