Our Time Has Come to an End.

As our time together comes to an end, I hope you have learned all that you hoped about showing livestock. There is still much more that you can learn, but I strongly encourage you to go out, whether it is to a sale or to the pasture, and select your own calf. Practice looking for that stout, wide-topped, deep bodied, clean fronted calf. Whether it be a market animal or breeding animal. Then bring it to the barn to halter break it, feed it, practice with the show stick, wash it, rinse it, and clip it. This is also a good opportunity to practice on your fitting skills once they are washed, blow dried and clipped. I am challenging you to do it yourself and learn from this project. Showing cattle can be one of the most beneficial activities you have ever done. Responsibility, hard work, and many friendships have come out of showing cattle. This is one hobby that does take time, and does take money, but if you have both of those things, there is no doubt you will end up with the purple banner at the end of the chase. I know we did not get into an extreme amount of detail when it comes to fitting cattle and the products that one uses, but click HERE if you want the full run down and extreme detail on clipping and fitting. Reading this article and watching the video will create one of the best showman on the circuit. You won't regret it. 

Thank you so much for reading my blog and learning along with me. Chase those purple banners and you will get there!
