[QUOTE="Angus Cattle Girl, post: 397642, member: 1156"] We have some tricks that we use... When we are getting the legs all boned up for the show, we do our prime time, then cover that with some Jet Black to help it dry. Then hit leg with some Ultra White. It not only shows you the hairs that you can clip off but it makes the leg look even bigger boned. Cover that with Jet Black and put 1-2 more coats on. Put on another coat of Jet Black then put some Black Finisher on it to make it shine. We use the alcohol especially when we clip, not really around the fitting time. And we also let them drink their fill before we hit the show ring. Another thing we do is, when the judge comes up to feel the calf, we move their heads slightly toward us or away from us. If they have too much finish, push their head slightly away from you but not so much that the judge notices. And if the calf doesn't have enough finish, pull the head toward you slightly. ...And most people know how to get a top up or get a loin down. That's about all I can think of that we use for now. If I remember any later, I'll post them. -Angus Girl [/QUOTE]
