[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 771588, member: 6713"] I don't understand why slick shearing is a "cop out". To me it is just the opposite. A cop out at least to me is what you say or do to avoid reality. Growing hair in the dark out of season is not reality. BTW congrats on breeding the champion steer. The fact that he beat you with a lot less hair would seem to make the case for better cattle and less hair. Would it not? One thing you said would at least to me anyway changes the dynamic of this conversation and that is when you characterize the show deal as a hobby. If that is the case then I would say all bets are off. It is not about raising cattle for the BEEF industry it is something else entirely. However it would sure be great if these kids were working toward the goal of the perfect BEEF animal(reproducable on a large scale) instead of the best poodle. That to me would definately make the whole thing make a lot more sense. For what it's worth I went out to the fair last evening to check the progress of the steer I sold to the little girl and see what the others had brought. I saw nothing there that would be considered a big time club calf. Some hair but not a lot. I am pretty sure there were no Heat Wave sons there. [/QUOTE]
