Well, we had our Fair this weekend and it was very successful! Unfortunately my son had to leave his heifer at home due to ringworm, but his steer did a fantastic job making him feel better about the whole deal. The sale was the most successful one we've ever had and Shorthorn steers were showing their place in the beef industry. These 3 steers place first(white) second(black) and third(red) in a class of 15 market steers. The next day, (different judge) they placed first(red one) second(blue one) and fifth(white) in a class of 10. Lots of people were impressed. All three steers are from the same sire, Hatfield Snowman 11W. Boys did a fantastic job, learned a lot about grooming this year from some good folks, and saw hard work pay off in a finished steer that they could show. They were pleased to place well, but they were more excited about the process of getting ready for the ring and being at the fair with their steers! Proud of my boys! The white one and red one weighed 1520 lbs and the blue one 1390lbs. The red one placed 2nd in Average Daily Gain competition with a ADG of 3.18. This was out of about 30 steers.
