[QUOTE="SKF Show Cattle, post: 553964, member: 4313"] The bulls in the pictures are older bulls that have been used alot. Not show calves. I can not stand it when people are so judgemental when they see a calf with hair. You are so quick to assume that those of us who show only care about hair. There are plenty of good quality cattle with hair. My daughter loves working with her calves hair and grooming them she spends hours with her calves. She does not do it to hide faults a good judge can see the difference between a good calf and a bad one regardless of the hair. Lastb year she won the carcass contest at the South Florida Fair with a calf that hair hair like a yak. Our number one concern when pick out a calf is structure, genetics and disposition. Grooming does not hide major faults. I get so tired of the hair vs no hair. I have seen plenty of commercial type with no hair come to the fair that have structure issues, lack muscling and then when they get beat by a calf with hair all they can say is that the calf only won because of its hair. They never say it was because their calf had some major structural issues and the calf with hair was a sound and complete steer. I have a pature full of ex show cattle that in their prime had lots of hair and guess what they are still sound, produce a good calf every year, and are great milkers. There have been some that did not turn out as expected but over the years we've had commercial cattle that did not turn out well either. My point is don't just assume that because we enjoy grooming and showing all year that we don't know good cattle. The hair is something that my daughter enjoys and works hard and it keeps her busy which keeps her out of trouble plus the extra time spent with her calves she developes a great bond with them. We show all year not just the county fair and we're not afraid to slick because we know what we have under the hair. [/QUOTE]
