[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 618607, member: 615"] Usually, rolled are for heifers and steers, and the flat-nosed are for bulls. Of course, I have seen heifers with the flat and bulls with the rolled. Typically, if you're unsure, go with the rolled. Black halter if your animal is black. Brown if its brown/red. I am not sure about the durability of the adjustable type. Probably similar to any other show stick. If you have exhibitors of different sizes, then the adjustable would make the most sense. I would go with the Aluminum ones from Sullivans. They are light weight and tough. If they get bent you can usually get them pretty close to straight. The fiberglass one, to me, typically don't hold up as long as the aluminum ones. Less flex for bending, being leaned against and stepped on. I like Showbloom. We see a pretty good improvement in bloom and coat quality when using it versus not using. Plus, we haven't had any get too fat as a direct result of using Showbloom. If you really need to put some weight on them, I like Showmaster PowerPhat. I don't typically use that on heifers though, but have in special cases. Ryan [/QUOTE]
