We would like to publicly Thank, K&K Tack and Supply for designing us a Goat Lead with the ability to prevent a Buck from breaking it's lead thereby creating a safer environment for fellow exhibitors, animals and spectators. I encourage each and everyone of you who show an animal that can be unruly, and are prone to breaking their show lead to check out the Buck Lead Restraint. This idea was conceived at this year's ABGA Nationals. Callene will have a contact tab on the home page soon. I will attach a pic of the Buck Lead Restraint System soon. Thanks to all the Kennedys and Thank the Lord they are safe and sound, and no one hurt from their recent Waco Slip & Slide Trip.

You can see some of K&K Tack and Supply's merchandise at the IBGA Nationals in Duncan. He will have a display set up. We had leather leads made for our farm, as well as, clips to display our numbers. Mr. Kennedy and his sons also make ropes with clips on each end. These are especially handy in the wash racks! I also saw many people having leads made for give aways at their shows (and sales) with the name of the show/sale stamped into the leather. I thought this was a great marketing idea! Hey, Mr. Taylor, you think we could get him to make some for our 5 Star Sale in October?

I think this is a very good item for those of you who cannot teach a buck to lead. I have seen some of you in action, and frankly, I did not realize it was a lead problem, I always thought it was carpral tunnel syndrome, limp wrist, etc. Maybe a big ole husky lead will solve this.

Maybe make mention in the gossip!

The lead made by K&K is a very stylish and useful addition to the spiked chain and actually makes it look very professional and will not allow the spikes to come apart as a lot of them do. We have a lot of young kids and older folks at the shows and I think this lead wil help prevent somebody getting hurt, should a Buck break the lead and run thru the barn. |

Showing bucks for 15 years sometimes as many as 6 per show, several over 300 lbs.........i have NEVER lost a buck in the ring yet, not even BULLDOG who was notoriously a HARD HEAD and spooky, do you really think you need a special lead????
I saw these leads at Duncan and thought they were a good idea,
but i do not use the spiked collars anyway, which *is* the problem as they tend to come undone, and after wearing them from 3 months on, the neck becomes dead to the spikes!!
Does anyone know who is judging TX STATE FAIR???
