[QUOTE="show steer up, post: 653294, member: 6939"] And an excellent opinion it is :clap: I feel for you, that’s why I stressed getting a cooler barn and if you own breeding cattle don’t have good coats maybe you should try buying a show animal that has a proven line for thick coats. Never compromise quality for a coat because in the long run you have to be satisfied with that animal. But try every year to outdo your last animal and you do this baby steps at a time. Another thing my kids do is they have their money steer's "STAR and Cha' Ching" and if you look in the background of some of their pics they have a red steer "Tyler" and a baldie "Travis". We don't post many pics of them because they are not our big contenders. They were purchased to offset the purchase prices of the other two animals. No matter what win loose or draw, they have buyers for all the cattle. They will make better money if the two cheaper steers make auction but will make enough money to buy better cattle next year. We also consider Star and Cha' Ching their Showmanship steers "Coats" and the auction ringers are their cheaper cattle. Does that make any sense. It kills to loose showmanship to a coat but believe me you can win without one. You just have to be 100 times better than them, I’ve done it and so can you. [/QUOTE]
