[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 950838, member: 1974"] Don't use hoof black until you read the rules at your show. Many shows say no polish on the hooves. Use electrical tape or one of those medical tapes that self-stick on the chain of the show halter. Sometimes a calf is extra sensitive under the chin and the tape softens the effect of the chain. As far as clipping, I'd call someone experienced. The steer needs to have strangers around him. He'll probably stand better for someone experienced in clipping. You might be more inclined to jump back quicker(can't say I blame you!) if you think he might kick. Unfortunately, that tends to make the animal jumpier, and you've started a bad cycle. Oh, you probably figured out peroxide isn't a good idea. Get some iodine from the farm supply store. That works well on scrapes, ringworm, etc. [/QUOTE]
