Members were busy this weekend learning how to bath, blow off, brush, and shave to get their animals ready to show off to the judges. Martina & Robyn Tibble lead the kids through the steps to getting an animal ready to show.

Members all had the opportunity to learn the techniques, hands on!

The weather was perfect for us & the facility’s at Swan Hills Ranch are perfect!

The kids started the afternoon by bathing a steer, then blowing him off!

Next we loaded 3 chutes with members animals and proceeded to shave them, the chutes stayed busy with different animals getting clipped.

The kids had worked up an appetite so we broke for a hotdog & drink before finishing the day with a leg “glueing ” demo! Everyone left with some great information and tools help make this years show animals some of the best ever.
