[QUOTE="VCC, post: 572714, member: 6399"] Chipster, yes we are supposed to be judging the steer as he is know, but as you evaluate cattle you also are looking at what they are going to look like when they are finished. I did not believe that the show in a couple of weeks would be his final show, not at 875 pounds, If that is the case then there are more issues to worry about than the steers flank. He does not appear to being even close to finished, there are no fat deposit in the tail head or the brisket, I can only guess but I doubt his ribs have very much if any cover over them. I know when we evaluate a project calf we try and select one that will meet the market requirements at finish weight not at 600 pounds. [/QUOTE]
