looks tasty, for a market steer, he should do well, but like at an open show or something else, he would get smoked, but the game changes when its a market class. good luck

He's a decent steer, but I wouldn't be willing to do what it takes to compete with a steer. It's amazing what kind of junk people will put into them just to win. I've seen them bleeding from the rear because of what they were being given. A steer will not naturally get as unbelievably wide and muscular as some I've seen at shows. Some of them look like they're on steroids.

We didnt have anything big enough at weigh in. We got this guy from a good friend of ours.

He eats 30lbs and is plenty big enough.

In this neck of the woods, most club steers are Chi-Maine cross. A good friend of mine made the observation that while these two breeds dominate the show ring, there aren't a whole lot of them in commercial cowherds........ :? :idea:

Nor do they grade very well on the rail....

Is this steer for a county fair? At my county fair a black angus steer always wins grand champion. Usually runner up is also a black angus, but last year was a holstein/angus cross, nice steer I thought should have won. So what I am saying is around here everyone wants black cattle, not red.
