It happened to us this year. We ended up third overall. Some people said we should have been grand (which i did not agree, it was a nice steer). It was a lot closer for reserve. The judge had an issue with what we weighed in at (1406). That is what he based his decision on for reserve and third...

Our steer will act the same way when he has not been turned out in a few days. After we let him run a little he is fine.

What Show Stopper 95 is describing is the steer classifications not heifers.

You are allowed to validate multiple heifers and multiple breeds per exhibitor. We currently have four head in two breeds that my daughter could show. I reread the rules and all it states is that each heifer may only be registered to one exhibitor. They do not allow heifers to be registered as...

British are Angus, Herefords, Polled Herefords, Red Angus and Shorthorn Americans are Beefmaster, Brangus, Grey Brahmans, Red Brahmans, Red Brangus, Santa Gertudis, Simbrah and ARB Continental (Exotics) are Charolais, Chi, Limousin, Maine-Anjou, Simmental and ORB Most all of the cattle are...

We have made payment to CW in the past, but the seller would not release the animal until funds were verified.

I don't know if I like the new format as well. I like to see the history to see if I am bidding against multiple people or just one.

I agree with Will. Im the same height and have almost knock myself out in a low profile.

Bought a steer for my daughter to show at our county fair out of him. He is currently about 1,100 pds and is still walking really well. I like his conformation but not his attitude (but it is getting better).

If you are showing in one of the breed classes, you have to go through the sift. They call for your breed and you have to take the steer to be checked. There are 3 or 4 people looking at the steers for breed specific traits. If you do not classify you are totally out of the show. They will not...

We have the same issue with my daughters county steer. He is up to 1000 Pd's and when he gets wound up he can get away from her. We took him to a jackpot show and he did fine until about 5 minutes before they walked into show and he tried getting away. She got him through the show but he would...

Some of the salers have a minimum set price and if it is not met, the calf does not sale.

just wait till you disagree with a couple of them. They will respond at that point.

I have to agree. I was really impressed with the changes this year. I saw no issues in the holding area and the judge waited until all calves were in the arena before he began pulling for his top 10. The only problem we had was electricity it felt like we were in San Antonio. We continually...

We have a Shorthorn cow that has been 2 weeks overdue on both of her calves. Both calves also weighed about 75#s. Just keep an eye on her.
