[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 225961, member: 968"] Actually, your view of your kids interest shows in the pics. I noticed the "pride" in your daughter. They have good weaning weights, so just be sure to keep up the feed program to keep them growing, but NOT get fat. If the heifers lay in fat in their udders, they will be poor milkers as cows. I show cattle, and there is a fine line between getting them "show" ready & getting them fat. They look to be typical Limo's. Little round butted & coarse fronted, but they are decent heifers to start out with. I think your son's heifer is the best, maybe if he does well, it will encourage him. I would stress SHOWMANSHIP. This is the most important class they will enter - IMO. This is based on the work they do with their calf. I would guess your daughter should do well in this class. Here are some sites to check out: [url=http://www.geocities.com/bowieffa/homepage.html]http://www.geocities.com/bowieffa/homepage.html[/url] [url=http://www.ca.uky.edu/agripedia/agmania/]http://www.ca.uky.edu/agripedia/agmania/[/url] [url=http://dallas.tamu.edu/fitandshow/]http://dallas.tamu.edu/fitandshow/[/url] You can pick up the do's & don't's of showing. I strongly believe that kids need the support of their parents if they will succeed in showing cattle - or anything in life. Keep up the support. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
