I agree with Jamie, and with Doris and her dad. If you know your lines and
chosen your stud dog well, you should be able to pick 'em wet. Long necks,
for sure. Picking them up and letting the legs fall naturally shows
something, too...and that has to be done while they're wet, because as soon
as they dry off, the "wiggle factor" comes into it...and that letting the
legs hang won't work.
Barring something completely out of your control, it should work. For
instance, there is always the Jesus factor, ...you know, just when you think
you've finally got it exactly right, God will make a change...and there's
nothing you can do about that.
For myself, there's a bit of a "gut feeling" about it all...I find that
when you think about it too long, you go wrong........
