What tranquilizers are approved for use in cattle and what are the withdrawal times? I can certainly sympathize with someone trying to have a young kid show a steer, investing much more money than auction barn price in the animal, not to mention the time and effort and not be able to show it, especially if the tagging for a terminal show has already occurred and there is no way to get a replacement steer. Does not make use of ace or other juices excusable, but sometimes they do respond to being slowed down a little. I like the nose clip for the knotheads and it seems to help get their respect if they are too pushy, but it is difficult for a little kid to use.
If this is a really good steer, maybe he could be traded to an older showman to show and find a more docile one for the small showman.
