560 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART VII 



arrange these turns when the judge isn't looking at your calf, or the calf 

 on either side. Remember that, if your calf doesn't lead well, you will 

 have just about three times the trouble with him that you would have 

 had otherwise. 



And last, but not least, remember you are a cattleman and a gentle- 

 man. Always thank the man who hands you the ribbon whether you 

 receive first or last. If you think you might have been up a place or 

 two, don't crab about it. Remember that the judge has more of an op- 

 portunity than yourself to see all the points for or against, and take his 

 decision as final. Be a sport, a good loser, and, better yet, a good winner. 



Feeding Pureberd Heifers 



If you are feeding a heifer in a purebred club, instead of a baby beef, 

 you will want to feed more for growth and not quite so much for flesh. 

 In this case, more oats and bran and less corn should be fed in the grain 

 ration. The same things in starting on feed must be remembered as 

 with a baby beef; starting on grain slowly unless she has already been 

 fed grain, and gradually increasing. 



If your heifer will suckle a cow, and you have one to spare, by all 

 means allow her to do so, and you will be surprised at the results. Re- 

 member that milk is the cheapest feed you can get for a young calf.
