[QUOTE="SHOWMOM, post: 589209, member: 6337"] Well, I know exactly what you are saying. Some people have a win at all costs attitude. We just got back from state fair, some had got caught pumping steers up, had a big meeting lawyers and all, held up the show for 2 hours. I think they finally "withdrew" from the show, should've been banned like the rules say, but I guess rules only apply for some. We've never will win if we have to cheat, it just isn't worth it. It doesn't teach the kids a thing except getting things the easy way, and how many times in life do you get things the easy way? Not very many...... We've seen calves aced, calf calmed, and most of it amounted to lack of work on the showman's part. We've had calves that were "first time to towners" and you have to take that all in stride after a couple of hauls they settle right down, and act like no big deal. But, my advice to first timers is do what's right, if it's illegal don't do it winning is never that important. Some have to win and some have to lose, next time it may be different. The main thing is take your project have fun and if you learn about taking care of cattle and feeding out right and good health practices you've learned alot.
