[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1808758, member: 38220"] Cooler rooms do cost. We had one at the old place that was 10x12, insulated with 4" of spray foam and had a 24,000 BTU air conditioner with a Cool Bot. It worked well and we could keep it around 60* all day even on 95* days. After we moved my kid only had a couple of years left to show and we just tied them in the new uninsulated barn every morning with butt fans and misters on a timer. We grew almost as good of hair as with the cooler room. Ideally you also need to have cattle tied by sunup and let out after sundown. Where you tie them should be totally dark if possible. This shortens the amount of daylight they are exposed to, which promotes hair growth. Melatonin in their feed about 60 days prior to show will also promote hair growth. So those are a couple tricks you can do without going to the expense of a full bore cooler room and still grow hair on your show critters. [/QUOTE]
