Texascluckers show animal thread!

[Texasclucker]

I have done beef 4h twice, (that's what I would do again). I just have a really hard time taming an animal and getting attached, then sending it to slaughter.

That’s why I show heifers I’m not putting myself through that no way no how plus heifers can make you your money back once your done showing them

Hi, I just got a lamb. How can I get him to like me?

Be calm and quiet around him if he won’t let you touch him desensitize him with a brush on a long stick and give treats when he does something you like

 

[Texasclucker]

Hopefully it works!

My lamb never did tame down, but I had to board him, so I couldn’t spend a ton of time with him I haven’t had a problem taming the goats this way though! Except Finnegan– she doesn’t countView attachment 3098512

ONG SHE IS PRECIOUS

Thank you! She’s my only one that doesn’t follow me around like a puppy, but she throws the most GORGEOUS kids

what about chickens...???

Are horses and ponies allowed?

Think so. I know horses are here, pretty sure ponies are to.

I really don’t mind training her for you. Im a expert goat trainer, go ahead and send her to me, just might take a few decades or so to get her back

I've been thinking about that. If my cow has a heifer then maybe, if she doesn't then I might also pick one from our herd to use. I had also thought of dairy 4h because my gramma really wants a milk cow, but around here it's basically just beef farmers.

@Texasclucker do you show dairy heifers or beef?

I am pretty behind on this thread, but Hammie and I are going to show at a 4H county fair come July.
