Keep one eye on the judge and the other on your calf. When the judge handles your calf, be alert and take a firm grasp on the halter. Don't shake the lead strap and chain, but look at the judge with calmness. Be relaxed and show confidence that your calf will win. Above all, be courteous to show officials, the judge and other exhibitors.
Good sportsmanship is as important as good showmanship.
If you have learned your showmanship lessons well, you will win without bragging and lose without complaining.
