[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 74478, member: 968"] I'm not certhefbeef, but slick shown cattle mean the show requires the animals to be shaved bald a certain time frame prior to showing, I believe they can only have 1/4 inch of regrowth hair. Sooo, the "steer jockeys" (they are the people that show or fit the steers for shows) don't like those kind of shows because there is no fitting involved, just feeding & management. Now I say that, but there is probably a lot more "tricks" of the trade I don't know about for that kind of show. Anyway, no hair - no fitting. The Club Calf bulls are promoted for their hair, along with other things like "freekie fronted" (super thin long neck) and super big butts. This is a very hard combination to shoot for because if they are super big in the rear, it's hard for them not to be big in the front end. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
