[QUOTE="SHOWMOM, post: 564700, member: 6337"] whew it's been a long time but i'm finally back. we've been showing cattle for 7 years, and in all that time we had 1 heifer we could not do anything with after months she went to the pasture to be a cow. we did use show calm one time, on a first timer, didn't do a thing! After being hauled she settled down real good. some calves are just juicier than others and you have to learn to be patient and my son says its a "heifer thing" he prefers to show bulls and steers! any extra work you can do such as having strangers come around, hauling them to weigh, or get feet trimmed will help when you get to a show. lot's of patience and work. as far as hitting them with the show stick, if you can tap and i mean tap them on the end of the nose with the stick and it makes them settle down that's not being abusive, i dont believe in whacking the c---- out of them that just makes you look like a duffus, sometimes snapping the chain on the show halter will line them up and alot of it is don't spaz when they do it, ride through it and alot of times they settle down asap. but please don't him them or make your show stick into a u that doesn't solve a thing.
