L etter From the Editor
ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY We have officially passed our one-year anniversary and are debuting our Summer Issue! Last year at this time The Show Wether was brand new, and the May/June 2015 Issue was the very first issue that was published. As I reflect back on the last six issues, it brings a smile to my face and pride to my heart. The magazine has been received better than I ever could have expected, and that is due to you, the readers. For that I say THANK YOU. This is the Summer Issue, which features articles on being ready to rock your jackpots, as well as show ring ethics and showmanship. The Show Results includes the Sioux Falls Stock Show, Houston Livestock Show, Rodeo Austin and Oklahoma Youth Expo. New to this issue is a section called Show Ring Puzzles, which includes a word scramble and word search to keep you busy at your shows. A full Calendar of Events, with the events listed in alphabetical order, is available online at www.theshowwether.com/events. Upcoming events are posted in this issue. We have received more awesome photos for Chasing Banners. Don't forget to send your show photos to be featured in the next issue of The Show Wether! Many of you have already picked up your wethers for the year and are gearing up for jackpot season. Good luck to you at all of your shows! If you are interested in handing out magazines at your events or your store, send me an email, and I'll be happy to ship you a box. I appreciate your support of The Show Wether!

PREPARATION AT HOME SETS YOU UP FOR SUCCESS Jackpot show season is one of the most exciting times of the year for people who show livestock. It is a time to debut new stock and refine old skills. Getting ready for jackpot show season requires preparation and a commitment to work with your wether every day. Most wethers, when they come home from the breeder, are not halter broke or trained to walk and brace. Some of them are, but every wether will require time with a new showman to become comfortable and to trust the new owner. For wethers that are not halter and or lead broken, this is the very first step. Unruly wethers that have not been handled will struggle in the show ring, no matter how good the wether may be. Getting the wether used to you being around them is essential. For wethers that need to be halter broken, the best way is to put the halter on the sheep or goat and then tie the halter's lead line to a fence, a drop (a chain that hangs from the roof with a rubber strap) or a horizontal cable, which should be mounted six or so feet above the ground. The lead line of the halter can be connected to the cable with a ring or carabineer. Wethers should never be left unattended with a halter on. The “old style” of breaking a wether (and steers) is to leave the halter on the animal and let him step on it. This can be really dangerous and wethers can hang themselves. It is not advisable to use this method. Even though goats are generally shown in a collar, halter breaking them can make it easier to move them from the pens to a
trailer and around a show area, including to the washing station. It is also easier to lead multiple goats if they are on halters than if they are only broke to lead with a collar. Once wethers are broke to a halter, it is time to teach them to lead. Both sheep and goats have a tendency to pull back when pulled with a lead. Many times, when a wether takes a step while on a lead, releasing the tension on the halter teaches them that taking a step is the desired effect, and they quickly learn that moving forward removes the tension from the halter.

Once wethers will lead with a halter, it is time to move on to either hands with lambs or to a collar with goats. A lamb should be used to being touched, and the feel of hands on the front and back of his head should tell the wether to step forward or stop. A collar with a goat may take a little more training. Going from a halter to a collar is not always a natural progression, and some wethers may resist the collar more than others. Patience is key, and with time, goat wethers can learn to give to a collar the same way they would give to a halter. The next step is to teach a wether to set up. This means the exhibitor is able to place all four feet under the animal squarely. Some wethers may be very uncomfortable with having their feet and legs touched, and the only way to

fix that is to spend time touching them and placing their feet. The front feet should be placed directly under the shoulder, and the back feet should be placed slightly behind the hocks. This will allow a wether room to brace. The feet closest to the judge (generally the right side) should be placed first. After wethers will lead and set up, it is time to teach the wether to brace or “drive.” This motion, when the wether pushes into the inner thigh of the showman, helps to promote muscle expression. Driving can be taught in several ways. Some wethers are natural at this movement, but many need some extra help. If a wether refuses to brace, a showman can gently push the wether backwards on a slope, or off a fitting table, to teach them to brace. Sometimes pushing them into a shallow puddle of water works. An electric prod should never be used. Some wethers take more time than others, and bracing training should be kept short to not over-power a wether. Once a wether is trained to lead, to set up, and to brace, they are ready for the show ring from a handling perspective. However, this is not the end of the preparation. One of the hardest parts about showing in jackpot shows is keeping a wether “fresh.” Care must be taken to keep a wether in good condition, with not too much fat or too lean. This can be done utilizing exercise and good feed, as well as supplements, if needed. Unlike raising a wether for a specific show, jackpots wethers must be ready to show nearly every week for an extended period of time. This may require wethers to wear socks
or blankets at all times to help keep them clean, having their legs wrapped (especially for sheep) to keep leg wool/ hair intact, and constantly monitoring weight and exercise. Showing wethers requires a partnership, and both the human and the wether must be prepared. The exhibitor needs to be both physically and mentally prepared to compete, and jackpot shows can help a showman to develop his or her confidence in not only the animal, but in himself or herself. When exhibitors first arrive at a jackpot show, they should check out the layout, including where to weigh in, where to wash, where they are penned, and where the show ring is. Once classes are posted, exhibitors should note their classes and make sure to be on time to the show ring. If they are not in the first few classes, seasoned exhibitors will study the judge and will be able to pick out what the judge is looking for, including how the judge patterns the class. Experienced showmen can adapt to different judges, and pay attention to what a judge likes. Some judges prefer a hard braced wether and others may not. Listen to what the judge says when he or she gives reasons. Jackpots give novice showmen a great opportunity to learn from the best. Generally, showmanship classes are held before market classes, and those who are new to showing wethers should take this time to study closely what those who are experienced are doing. Do not be afraid to ask questions or for help. Most showmen are more than happy to help. Jackpot shows offer many opportunities for showmen, including gaining experience and learning new tricks and tips. Jackpots also allow exhibitors a chance to get to know each other, developing friendships that may last a lifetime.
Jackpot shows allow showmen to debut new stock and to fine tune their showing skills.

SHOW RING ETHICS & SPORTSMANSHIP Story by Crystal Emsoff
Showing livestock instills in the young exhibitor a great many valuable life skills. When done right, showing can teach one how to win humbly and how to lose graciously. When done wrong, as is the case with any competition, the desire to win can lead to the temptation to cheat one’s way to the top, or on the other end of the spectrum, to falsely assume that even an honest winner is cheating. If you have been in the show world very long, you have likely heard the stories. They put a black eye on the industry we love and reduce the immense positives that can be gained from a show wether project. As young showmen, or parents raising young showmen, what can we do to hold up a high standard of ethics and sportsmanship in the show ring?
Having strong ethics and practicing good sportsmanship will keep the showing experience positive for everyone. Photo by Robyn Scherer-Carlson. 12 - The Show Wether
Ethics 1) Know the rules of your show and abide by them. If there is an ownership requirement, follow it. If a show does not allow drenching or painting, do not do it, even if it seems like “everyone else does it.” Hold yourself to the highest standard of honesty and integrity. 2) Know with what and why your wether is being fed or treated. A drug or feed additive labeled for swine or cattle cannot legally be given to a lamb or goat without a veterinarian’s prescription. There have been accusations of show jocks giving wethers drugs that are not labeled for that species or without reaching the required withdrawal time. In some of these cases, the owners of the animals claimed that they had no idea what the animal was being given. As the owner of your wether, you are responsible for everything that happens to him. Know what is going on with your project at all times. Do not give or allow your wether to be given anything that is not specifically labeled for the species of your wether without the direction of a veterinarian. Follow all withdrawal times carefully. Always remember that your wether will ultimately end up on someone’s dinner plate. Make sure he will be a product that you would want to eat yourself. 3) Always treat your wether humanely. Practices that cause pain or extreme fear have no place in a livestock project. This includes, but is not limited to the use of electric prods, injecting air or foreign substances, running to exhaustion, tying for extended periods of time or hitting the animal. The most success is found when the wether trusts the showman and any inhumane treatment not only undermines
that trust, but is unethical as well. There is no shortcut for patient, persistent work. Sportsmanship 1) Every showman is looking for that extra advantage, including the best position in the ring, but be considerate of your fellow exhibitors. Allow enough space between yourself and the other exhibitors so that you and they both can easily maneuver. 2) Win humbly. Remember that younger and newer showmen are looking up to you as a role model. Do not be above helping them with their projects and do not be afraid of their competition. Their success will ultimately make you rise to a higher level to be the best that you can be! 3) Lose graciously. Even if you do not place as high as you had hoped or thought you should have, congratulate the winner and thank the judge. Do not fall into the trap of judge bashing. A livestock judge may have the hardest job there is! He or she must select just one champion and disappoint everyone else. When you enter that ring, you are asking the judge for his or her opinion of your animal. It is unfair to get mad at the judge for giving you that opinion. 4) Do not feed the rumor mill. If you have been showing any length of time, you have probably heard the rumors. Sadly, too many honest, hardworking show families have had their reputations damaged by false accusations spreading like wildfire. Just
because a family wins consistently does not mean that they are cheating. They very well may have reached a high level of skill in selection, feeding, fitting and showmanship. If you witness actual cheating or unethical behavior yourself, with your own two eyes, by all means take it to the proper authorities. But do not fall into the trap of being a sore loser and spreading gossip. If you hear accusations from someone else, let those accusations stop at you. Do not pass it on. After all, hopefully some day you will honestly get to the top yourself, and it would be heartbreaking, after all your hard work, to be accused of cheating to get there. Win or lose, have fun and learn from your experiences! The skills you gain and the friends you make while showing your wethers will last you a lifetime. Your integrity is worth more than any buckle, banner or premium check. Good luck and stay true!
