I am sure that at this point the results are published at the ANLS web. Life time ban on the boy showing the, DNA proven, stolen steer that won his class in KC. The person that supplied the steer for the Colorado family is believed to be the same person that was payed $20,000 for the steer to win the ANLS. It is well believed the steer arrived in that persons trailer. The big joke was how well done the stolen steer was done up, and then stalled with Riggs' other steers that they had actually cared for. The person that brought the steer also brought the steer that won the last two years? This person clipped the 06 Az State fair chapion steer that everyone knew had come from the New Mexico State fair, being the Champion Shorthorn. It is easy to id a shorthorn. Arizona did nothing because of the money the family has spent at the junior sale, leagal reasons was the official reason. The state of Arizona does not have the guts to do anything. The question I have is does the KC show or the State have the guts to prosecute the person that got paid to deliver the steer to AZ. Everyone knows this is going on but know one will put an end to it. Why? I will be glad to testify. Those that know me also know that I have a lot of knowledge of the things this family has done in AZ that would be fraud in business, but since they are cheating children everyone lets it go. There is money to cheat with but none to prosecute with.
Guess what I think is pretty crazy is why would you think no one would figure out who your calf was when they had collected DNA? That is brave. Besides being wrong. The family if sold and the folks in between should all be made accountable. Not hard to track the money if someone really wanted to. But like you said, you have to have someone who wants to persue it.
these kids work hard and put a lot of time in their steers, we as parents try to teach our kids to obey the rules, and it is hard to compete with familes who disregard rules. These familes who baught,sold,moved this steer should have been kicked out for life
