[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 225855, member: 539"] That's your fault for allowing that to happen. We've done our share of showing, but our ranch was a working ranch (keyword here being [b]working[/b]), first and foremost - and the show animals were not treated any differently than any of the others with the exception of getting bath's, brushing, being halter-broke, and worked with. They did not have stalls, special trailers, special feed, etc, they were breed on time and expected to raise an acceptable calf - if they did not they were shipped. Once their 'show' careers were over, they took their place in the regular herd and did every bit as well as the non-show animals. Your rational simply reinforces my refusal to buy a standard 'show' animal, because - 7 times out of 10 - it cannot perform in the herd and I don't want it. [/QUOTE]
