[QUOTE="bdcattle, post: 1764958, member: 42824"] Hi all! I’m new here Can you do a dairy/beef cross for showing? My jersey was bred to a simmental, and it would be born right around the perfect time for 4H. (I have contacted the head person in 4h but I haven’t gotten a response) My jersey calves look like beef calves, they’re really bulky, but once grown up they aren’t so bulky. I’m concerned that because it would be a diary cross I wouldnt be able to fluff the hair up, even if I kept the fans on it all the time. If not, then I have another question: Do you really have to spend 1-3k for a steer to show? Or can you get just a cheaper beef bull calf and castrate it and then work it up until I showed it?
