[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 653493, member: 13"] Our local fair doesn't have a carcass competition. The kids usually take the calves on to the state fair. But some counties do. The Pontotoc County Extension Office runs a carcass program for youngsters: [url=http://www.adaeveningnews.com/agnews/local_story_061120600.html]http://www.adaeveningnews.com/agnews/lo ... 20600.html[/url] Talk to your extension agent and see if he/she knows of any place that does this type of thing. Also here in OK, the Noble Foundation sponsors a program for kids. They take the calves in and weigh them at weaning (has to be halter broke), take him home and feed him, and on a certain date they bring him back for a last weight and he's shipped for processing. The packer sends the results back to the Noble Foundation who has some sort of awards program. We've never been involved, but one of our neighbors did it a couple of years with his Herefords. Noble: [url=http://www.noble.org/Ag/JrBeef/index.html]http://www.noble.org/Ag/JrBeef/index.html[/url] But you should know that feeding and management are as important in carcass competitons as actual genetics.
