[QUOTE="show steer up, post: 543155, member: 6939"] I agree with you, the kid needs to show the animal he wants. My son's first steer was a real ugly one, we let him pick it, show it and when he took last place :( he decided that mom needed to help him next year. We went to an auction the next year, I had both my kids walk around with the sale line up. It was their job to pick out the animal they thought was the best and the one they would like to buy. After they were done I showed them my picks. We went back over the animals and decided as a group to buy four of them, two for each kid. One that I wanted them to buy and one they wanted. Well moms picks both took their classes and the other two didn't make auction. The third year when I asked the kids to go pick their animals we all picked the same four animals. Now my problem was who would get what steer. Thank goodness, they both had diffrent top picks. This seems to work for us, we start as a team and end as a team. when one wins, we all win, and both kids work on each others animals. One will clean the pen while the other feeds and switch off the next day. One will wash and the other will blow dry, and switch off the next day. This keeps the kids from getting tired of the same old thing day in and day out, works for us :D By the way, long show stick :D not short :( [/QUOTE]
