[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1142940, member: 9096"] I'm just against "big money" getting involved in anything, it always distorts reality. Like Tamarack said, $90,000 for a darned steer?... a good 50 times more than market value? what kind of lesson is that for ALL kids (not just the winning kid)... To me it makes it sounds like the lesson is "you gotta have money to make money" or "it's not what you know but who you know".. Now I don't know the details of the kids who showed this animal, perhaps it was all their work, and they worked really hard at it... great, but for all the other kids who also worked hard (I'm going to go out on a limb and say there were a bunch of them) that got market value for their animal, it's a bit disheartening... To the buyer, I'd say why not bid $10,000 each on 9 animals... make a bunch of hard working kids happy. This whole thing just screams of elitism to me somehow. [/QUOTE]
