[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1765052, member: 32879"] Unfortunately, in the real world, there are few kids showing in 4-H that are able to keep the kind of attitude you describe going, with an animal that consistently places in the bottom of the class. They end up neglecting the animal to some degree since it does not seem to matter how hard they they work with it. My kids started showing market lambs and we knew little about it when we started. After several years of coming in at the bottom we began to acquire lambs with at least some chance of being competitive. It was then it became fun and the girls learned more and took more pains in the care of the animal. I agree the high cost of competitive stock is a problem. However, showing animals with no chance to compete is unfair to the kids and discouraging to them. [/QUOTE]
