[QUOTE="simme, post: 1831023, member: 40418"] The idea that breeders follow the show ring and produce cattle based on show results - I have not done any research on that topic, but suspect that the big operations producing lots of bulls do not show and are not much influenced by the show ring. In the simmental world, that sure seems to be the case. At the shows, I think most exhibitors are smaller producers with many being from the junior side or marketing to the junior side. Selecting a breeding bull based on show results? Too much politics and feed involved for that to be a good strategy. May be different in other breeds. On the angus side, do those big bull producers show cattle or use show bulls? [/QUOTE]
