What would you rather compete in?

[Weaverv3]

Chi influnce class or maine? I know it depends on your animal, but we have a steer that we were told could classify either or. I like him, but which would you rather comepete in based on experience?

Depends on the competition where you are showing, both are tough division here.

Posting a picture might help  :-\ ???

If you posted a picture of the calf we could tell you what division we think he belongs in.

  Here in the midwest, the chi influenced classes are as tough or tougher than the x-bred classes. Everyone thinks that they are going to find less competition but it is really just another few classes of x-breds.

CAB you are right on that. Some of the Maine classes are just as tough too. The Chi division is tough and with heifers I would go commerical rather than chi at tough shows.

Sorry guys, I dont have a decent picture. We registerd him in maine, both are hard here but we will see how it goes I guess

i would show him in the maine cuz the chi influenzed class will have the heatwaves, heat seeker etc.

Heatwaves can now be shown in the Maines so you won't get away from them by showing there.....Gracie Russel's calf that won the Maines on day 2 of the Iowa Summer Beef Expo was a Heatwave....

it depends on his body type, chis are usually a little cleaner patterned, tighter ribbed, and neater fronted, whereas maines are a bit chunkier fronted and softer made
