i have a lot of questions...
starting from scratch we have a business raising beef cattle, i treat them more less like pets.. we just bought 2 heifers and their last year calf. I know nothing about showing cows my husband has hinted at it to me now and then for the past year and half. im thinking about getting into it and would like advise about it. the one female calf looks real nice shes beautiful, grow up to be even nicer. and we have a line back steer who is even nicer looking. wish we would have left his balls alone now. he poses all the time and hes almost perfect, and only almost to me because nothing is ever perfect. That we have cows that look show quality makes me want to do it. come the questions.... is it difficult to show cows? hard to learn how? is hard to halter break and how do you really do it? is there money in showing your cows other than the advertisement of your business having cows that have taken champion/1st place? is there even a class for steers? is it worth time and effort you put into it? and also important is it personally rewarding for you?
