I was wondering if anyone was going to the 2010 Select Showcase Simmental Sale on Saturday September 18th, 2010 at 1:00pm. Its at Kirkwood Community College Tripple Beef Center in Ceder Rapids, Iowa. Featuring 60 lots of Registered Simmental& Culb Calf Sale. Cattle will be available for viewing...
If a judge is going to judge a fair, he needs to know the good qualites between each breed and which calf resembles the best traits of that breed. I don't blame ya for being upset i would be very upset to, i can't believe a judge would do that.
I would say keep her you then can sell some of her offspring because i am sure she will have great offspring, or you can sell her for what you are wanting out of her. She's a really nice heifer that has all the stoutness she needs!
I feel if the owner wants the calf to be in the carcass class, he/she should be able to, but it should make a difference on if the Grand/reserve champion enter, i think it should be judged on which calf has the best carcass.
What's your favorite thing to do at a cattle show or on show day? I'll start taking care of my show calves, after everything is taken care of i like to sit down and have a conversation with friends and family. And of course being and the show ring.
Congratulations! Winning doesn't come easy it comes with hard work and lots of effort, now you have paid off all of that hard work and effort you that put in great job! <beer> <rock> <party> (thumbsup) (clapping) ;D
