Steps for Preparing Cattle for Fair: #3 Pen Preparation:

The pen should be sanitary, dry, well-ventilated, protected from drafts, with an area that provides shade
and protection from weather. Ensure the area is free from debris, sharp objects, or anything else that could injure
your animal. The ideal temperature for raising calves is 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Cattle are most comfortable at a
range between 30 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. If the animal is in an outdoor pen or barn that tends to get very
warm in the summer, it would be a good idea to set up a fan to help the animal stay cool in hotter temperatures.

Halter Breaking: Ensure your cattle are comfortable and responsive to the show halter and lead rope. Get the animal accustomed to being led and handled with a show halter and lead rope.

Posing Practice:
Practice walking, stopping, and posing the animal to ensure responsiveness to commands and a correct show stance, particularly focusing on leg placement and a staggered stance.

Veterinarians working with animals in hot weather, especially large animal veterinarians and those caring for livestock or boarding animals, must prioritize preventing heat stress and heat stroke through careful scheduling, adequate hydration and shade, and recognizing signs of overheating in animals. Adjusting work schedules to early mornings, ensuring ample fresh water sources and shade, and being prepared to cool animals rapidly are crucial measures.
