[QUOTE="aussie_cowgirl, post: 654355, member: 1279"] Yeah but have they been show steers? Because as far as I know I had been one of the only ones posting my steers on here that is from Australia... Presumptions like that are just arrogant anyway. You're pretty much saying our standard of cattle are rubbish compared to every day paddock cattle from the US. How does that make it more interesting? The standard for quality is raised in a hoof AND hook competition. You are having to prove that your animal goes past showiness and looks and has some market relevance BUT then you are ALSO having to show that you don't just have a dopey looking brown cow, but a showy, well presented steer. That makes it exciting because the standard is so high. What's the point of having to be 1st or 2nd on hoof to be able to be judged on the hook? That doesn't prove anything except maybe tiffs over who [i]should[/i] have gotten champion/reserve champion. That's funny because I have seen post from people talking about the judge coming up and talking to them about their animal... And they were showing club calves... Then how every now and again I can pick a club calf's sire from looking at it, and I'm not even from the US? In pure breds the genetics are similar so there for they should be harder to guess?
