Acepromazine and a 50 foot rope for the tough ones, a cattle pump for fill along with a case of 7-Up, and a bicycle pump for the places that need smoothed out.
I'm pretty sure any rope over 30' is against the rules...
BLOOD STOP POWDER!!! --- Had a young horned heifer pop a horn cap off in the chute on the way out to the show ring, talk about a mess!! Handy for any other last min. cuts you cant get to stop bleeding.
Thermometer--- Had another heifer get stressed and sick at her first show. I wanted to check her temp but didn't have one and the on site vet was going to charge $60 to use his
Aspirin paste-- in case above incident where I need to take the edge off a fever on a calf that catches a cold

I had a char heifer once that would bloat when she got to a show. Different water, stress etc. I always keep one of the small bloat-eze bottles in the bottom of the tack box now. Thermometer is also a must. A bottle of Ace is never a bad idea. Someone always needs it (even if it's not one of your own cattle).
Gilts always seem to come in heat at the fair, Our market class is a day or 2 after we move in so no problem there, but showmanship is later, we found if we smear a little bit of Vick's on their nose they can't smell the other pigs and we have fewer fights. We had a 300 pound barrow jump a 4 foot fence to get away from a gilt in heat chasing him in the ring.
