[QUOTE="splinter ridge farm, post: 654535, member: 11155"] First off, I apologize for even posting the question. This was not intended to be a free frawl...,but some how it has turned in to one. :stop: I am new to this, so I only asked the question to learn. Everyone has their opinions. I will say and strongly stand by this... When it was stated that the show calves are not made to eat, but show, then those believing this way have completely lost the concept and purpose of raising a steer. You can't make an average calf place more meat on the table, but you can take a good, meaty, thick calf to place more meat on the table. You can't raise a calf from a steer, you can't breed a cow, but you can eat it. That tells me that God's design for a steer is to eat first, show is secondary! In contrast, a good fitter can take an average calf and win at Grand Champion level. I have seen this done! That doesn't mean he was an excellent calf just because he had hair.. I am not intending to irritate anyone and I will not argue about this, however it sounds as though we need to rethink the purpose of a steer. In closing, when was the last time anyone has taken their steers or "Show stock" and had them "DNA" tested? Something to think about :???: [/QUOTE]
