[QUOTE="show steer up, post: 672293, member: 6939"] Thanks Avalon for starting this thread. I do realize animals get hurt at the fair and when they travel. We have had plenty of problems like that and had the animal not make auction. It hurts and is a financial burden, but giving the animal drugs for any reason at the fair is not only unethical but extremely dangerous to the consumer. At our fair they drug test the Grand and Reserve. They also do something that I think is neat. They pull two extra ear tag numbers out of a hat and do what they call random drug screening. This helps keep everyone on their toes. My son actually got random pull last year. We do nothing funny here, just grain, hay, show bloom and minerals. We do use the cooler barn and we clip our own animals. That’s about the extent of how far we will go for a champion. Just a lot of washing, blow drying and feeding them the proper way. :clap: :clap: [/quote vcc]It is our job to teach our children that there is a better way, it may be harder but it is far more satisfying in the end. If you had to cheat then do you really have the best animal, probably not.[/quote] :clap: :clap: [/QUOTE]
