[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 824490, member: 16303"] Lon, I do agree on one thing with you COMMERCIAL cows are just that, commercial cows, nothing wrong with that in the least bit. After all commercial cows make up the majority of the beef herds in the US. An Angus/Charolais cross animal can be just as good a quality animals as any other breed. Back when I was showing in 4-H and FFA steers for for the most part were pretty reasonably priced. Now days this is not the case. Many of the steers that kids are showing are sired by Club Calf bulls and many are spending $2,000 - $6,000 to purchase them. There are even club calf breeders that if they find even a good commercial cow (unknown parentage even) and get an outstanding calf, they will use that cow as an ET doner. [/QUOTE]
