not had much to do with him, but have witnessed some differing things than the previous post. The steer that won Ft. Worth this past year was as hairy as you can make one, and the soundest calf in the barns at Ft Worth. Maybe this is not the norm, but it is fact that he had 6 to 10 inches of hair everywhere and was sound as a cat. Saw the calf on several different occasions.
