Yeah I know the Texas Jr Market Shows are bigger than the big national jr market shows, heck I bet Iowa State Fair is even bigger. But what gets you on size is the Jr Breeding Shows and the Open Shows. The Jr Breeding shows at Louisville and Denver may not necessarily be bigger, but they are definately just as big, and the open shows at Louisville and Denver dwarf the open shows in Texas, with the exception of maybe the Brahmans, and really the only reason the Jr Breeding shows and steer shows down here are as big as they are is the Americans which dont get shown elsewhere.
For Steer shows its no doubt, Ft Worth, Houston, San Antone are the biggest you will go to. For the Jr Breeding Shows, they may be about equal, and for the Open shows it is handsdown Louisville and Denver that are bigger. And all in all I think the advantage has to go to Louisville and Denver. I live in Texas and love the Texas Majors, but I have shown at all of them and I have to say Louisville and Denver are my favorite shows, Kansas City and Ft Worth fight a tough battle for the next spots, and then Houston and San Antonio.
