[QUOTE="n i c c i, post: 137322, member: 2625"] I'm not an expert on leading and to be honest i've kinda given up on becoming a perfect handler. I've never been raised with cattle until i came to school and learnt that there is another use for cows that just eating them. I'm one of those people who will show the animal to the standard and really nothing more. If the head is up and their standing straight without being too spread out i'm fine and my animal is in view of the judge. But i never knew that cattle judging could be so bitchy! I've had people purposly back their animals right into me, block me out, hit my animal with a cane for no reason, tell me what to do and where to go... i just ignore it mind you but it's very fustrating. I know your out there for yourself but there's got to be atleast some manners in the show ring. I think, from my perspective a good handler is one who shows their animal off to the best of their ability. But when your judging the animal you look at every animal that you consider to have a chance. I hate bitchy handlers and unfortunately there's a lot. I try and stay right inbetween the animal infront and behind and when your someone like me who only gets to lead once every blue moon in the ring (or even in normal day life) it's nice to have people pay you a bit of respect even though they're in the ring continously. But i guess winning is winning. I just make it into the ring is good enough for me. [/QUOTE]
