It's general chat but all I see are news stories! This must stick out like a sore thumb
Anyway I have my show steer almost ready to go to show. He's from a livestock show's calf scramble and I am required to make a record book that's flamboyantly decorated with a sole theme. Of the 2000 expected steers, ~600 of us are scramblers so themes are bound to reoccur amongst us but I want to try to be as unique as possible.
First I thought of a medieval theme because I call him so many things and wanted to included a page saying "Sir Gullivar of Many Names" and put some things I've called him + I enjoy Charlemenge's reign 2000 years ago :3
Next I thought of an Irish theme since that's half my heritage (and at the time I was attempting to learn Gaelic :P ) & his green halter doesnt look too bad on him.
Now a day's, since his name is Gullivar I thought about being cheesy and going with a traveling theme or make him seem large & people small (he is big either way. Already 1300+ lbs!)
I need more suggestions for my big boy! I get judged, placed, and rewarded for having the best book. His personality is basically that of a bull who's caught wind of a heifer in heat. I've got some pics of him :3
On the image of him grazing, look at his stifle. That blonde spot is on both rear legs. Is is diluter gene being expressed like a charolis? I have him classed as a Limosuine but that can get me sent to AOB in a heartbeat.
These photos are throughout the year. The bottom being the least recent. So what I'm looking for is something simple & fast that can be made extravagant. Here are some examples from other past scramblers put I'm at a loss for ideas! Originality is everything! (go to the very bottom of the page for stall displays and books)
