iowa state fair

Was looking at the line up of open cattle judge lineups. What a lineup Doug Satree. Tom Mullinix to Kevin Jensen and Roger Allen. CAn anyone tell me the background on Roger and what kind of cattle he likes.

Rodger Allen use to manage Triple C Simmental in Emerald, WI before it was dispersed and then worked for Damar Farms which was Simmental and Red Angus. As far as the type of cattle he like I couldnt speak on that but the guy flat out knows good cattle!

He likes functional cattle, just like every other judge out there. Just what the definition of "functional cattle" is, might be up for debate.
Take your cattle, be proud of your cattle, and go home happy because you did your best.

Roger is a great guy and really knows cattle. My sisters showed against his kids for county fair and state. I have watched him work with our judging teams and was super impressed with his knowledge and the way he worked with the kids. One thing I always noticed about the cattle his family showed was that they all could move well. I can't recall seeing one of his kids dragging something that wasn't sound. The heifers were always also very feminine and looked like heifers should, not fat, just properly conditioned. He also isn't afraid to show or promote something that isn't black! I've never watched him judge, but would assume he would follow his own breeding program in what he picks. Hope this helps a bit.
