There are 57 Days Until Fort Worth

This doesn’t really apply to the haired shows as much as the slick shows but as long as we're counting Texas major shows, that’s the first big steer show of the Texas year.

Dear Majors,

You guys can do whatever you wish with beta agonists.  I personally think those of you prohibiting them are going in the wrong direction.  If you looked at the real world consequences that nobody will talk to you about, you’d realize it’s far more ethical to allow beta agonists in the show ring than what ends up happening by prohibiting them.

But it’s your show and your decision.

Just one request…

Do it at least 60-days out.

There are hormones and supplement combinations people can use instead of zilpaterol hydrochloride that have similar results.

But they need 45+ days to work and people need to be able to plan.

Just out of a very base level of respect for your exhibitors, if you are going to enact a policy regarding beta agonists or specifically zilpaterol hydrochloride, do it 60-days out and be clear about what your new policy is.
