[QUOTE="showing71, post: 662360, member: 11621"] [b]Usually[/b], judges handle the animals. Kind of depends on the show you're at and the judge themselves. It'd be interesting to have some of the market show animals untrasounded, but not real likely to happen. It sucks that the show calf industry here has leaned more and more towards looks and less on carcass, but if you want to show and do well here, you kind of have to follow the pack. Looks also depends on region. When I was 4-H age, a lot of kids' parents owned big feedlots, so their cattle were pulled-from the-lot feedlot steers and heifers. Those kids almost always won the heavyweight divisions (in county, state, other jr. shows around the country), without their cattle being "prettied and fluffed" up. They didn't win overall, usually because they didn't have the eye appeal, but it made some of the show-bred animals look weak muscled (even with all the hair) and gave a lot of the show-bred calves a run for their money, literally- we have a family that spent $30,000 on a steer once and that calf just squeaked by with a win against a home grown feedlot animal.
