[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1831029, member: 24816"] Different breeds have different values on showing. My experience with Charolais many years ago was that a lot of folks did follow the big shows and some pretty sizable breeders were in to that scene. The thing that I loved about Angus was that the show scene was just a small part of the breed and seemed liked majority of the breeders didn't pay any attention to it. I found that Angus have other things going on just as distracting as the show ring. Herefords especially the pollled Herefords are like the Charolais they are very big into show cattle. Disclaimer, I'm not running down showing as in children and youth showing. I think that is an absolutely great activity, and I wholeheartedly support the concept. I also don't mind registered breeders showing their cattle as a means to showcase and display their animals. Can be a great way to advertise and get name recognition. My issues with showing are when breeders specifically choose and mate animals for the showring with no consideration for the real world. Too many of the show cattle from many breeds that I have seen will not milk enough to raise a calf, or have very minimal maternal instincts, yet they possess the qualities that will win shows.
