Show Supplies

For those of you who are new, Corinne made a list of show supplies you will want to think about getting.  Not every kid needs everything - consider sharing with a buddy, using club supplies etc. There is also a flyspray list attached as a guide of good choices.  A great place to start looking is the ENasco Showing and Grooming Catalog.  Also don't forget to have a peek at the PDCA rules (Purebred Dairy Cattle Association).  Things have changed lately in regards to how to walk into the ring and rules of conduct while in the ring. Some of the not so up to date judges may go by the old rules - no way to tell, just use your own judgement. Happy Showing!
