Does anyone have any dairy fitting tips or advice?

This is our 1st year showing dairy calves and would appreciate any advice on fitting them for show. Thanks.Does anyone have any dairy fitting tips or advice?
Always, always keep your eyes on the judge. Belive it or not, some judges for minor shows will pick the student with the better showmanship if he cannot choose which animal is better than the other.





Act like your animal is absolutely 'the best', and try to show it off. Don't be too arrogant though!





Make a 'sandwhich' between you and the judge. Never block your animal. If the judge moves in front of you, don't block your steer's brisket (chest) by standing in front of it! Move off to the side, and alittle away from the animal. If he is looking at the animal's side, don't hide on the other side of the steer! This is when it's ok to move by your animal's head.
