Steer Planet - Show Steers and Club Calves Forum

Looked like two phenomenal steers to me.

Just by seeing the pictures posted on The Pulse by Sullivan Supply every breed winner and class winner looked excellent.

I do have a few questions .How many total steers are shown? How many make the sale? Are the steers classified for breeds? What happens if you are sifted? How much of the sale price is kept for other youth programs/ Thanks !

I could give you guess, but for accuracy, go to the Fort Worth Livestock show and Rodeo website and look at the results page.  The rules on payouts would also be listed

San Antonio- kids get all the money
Houston-  money to kids are capped with excess going to scholarship fund

I thought mullinix did a great job. I didn't have any steers showing this year but sat front row. And he was not afraid to put what he liked at the top of a class. Was not afraid to pull way more than most would and sift through more than once. For one thing if they were tubular they were not going to cut it. That has not been the case in prior years. Just my 2 cents though.

I think i hear it was close to1600 steers. None of the breed steers have to be purbred. Just have to have enough breed characteristics to get in. Some years its a guessing game if one will get in. I have sent a purebred angus and got classed out . Fort worth is right up there with the best as far as sell money

I have seen close to 2000 at fort worth but 2800 would be tough to fit in the barns. The cross classes easy get in the 80 per class. Most of the other classes have right around 40 except for the americans which i'm guessing around 60. The polled Herefords always have way less than any others, with about 30.   I was not there Friday so i cant speak for the cross classes, but Mullinix did a good job of pulling from the walk and then going back through and feeling and pulling from that aspect. But when you have to go through 80 head it can be tough to feel everything.

If I did this right here are the class breaks for all breeds in the steer show. You have to search breed and class you want but their all there. Didn't spend the time to count but theirs a pile of fats. They also have a link to results which list the top 10 per class.
