I tried to post a video, but can't get it to load. He's just a sale barn calf I found in the pasture of some of my stocker calves. It's my girls' first year showing. Rather than spend big money on a show steer, I thought I could try to sneak this calf in the sale at our county fair. What do y'all think?

It is tough to tell much about structure because of the tall grass......but it is also tough to get them to pose for you!

Nice long neck, good hip, shows some expression of muscle from his tail head to his hock.

Depending upon your county, you may just pull it off!  I hope you do.

Good luck!

Thanks tallcool. Those are my thoughts exactly. Just wanting to make sure I'm not way off base. The video I have of him is in shorter grass, but the file is too big to post. We are buying steers for my two older boys, but sheesh, the price of good steers in this market is scary. Our county only draws 12-15 steers and they sell on average for $4000, so I think it may be worth a shot.
