I would like to know what the going rate is to care and show another person's animal. This would include caring for prior to, transporting to and from the show, taking care of at the show, fitting, and showing the animal. Any information would be helpful.  Thanks

$150 per week plus feed and Vet bills just to stay in the barn. If they go to shows all entry fees paid, plus $100 per day while at shows.

Just for comparison, I saw this in a recent sale catalog:

Show Expenses:
<Ranch name deleted> does not make any money showing, however, we would
like to cover our expenses. If <Ranch name deleted>  cares for and shows your animal
it will cost $8/day for calves and $12/day for yearlings. In addition <Ranch name deleted>
will charge a flat show amount for the following shows:
Western Nugget (Reno).......................... $1,800
National Western Stock Show.................... $1,500
Fort Worth Stock Show............................ $1,500
This cost is figured with fuel under $4/gal. If fuel prices climb above this
amount we will charge an additional fuel charge.

Honestly, I thought this was more than fair.  I couldn't do it myself for that, and these guys do an awesome job, among the best in the business. They're located in Nebraska, to give you an idea on the freight.

Hope this helps.
