[QUOTE="Elder Statesman, post: 706059, member: 7371"] There is no place in the purebred or commercial industry for 1400 lb. yearling heifers and yearling bulls with 3/4 of an inch or greater backfat. And that is in purebred shows, not crossbred. There have been too many folks new to the Hereford business who get suckered in by the glitz and glamour of show stock. These people get conned into buying the lastest show winning bloodlines or culls from big name show breeders and 3 years down the road are stuck with a bunch of crap. Then two years later, due to frustation, they get out of the breed or the cattle business. I have seen it happen too many times. Some are folks who buy a half dozen cows and some spend hundreds of thousands of dollars investing in the breed. It always seems they get pointed to the show folks to buy their stock and often end up getting the shaft. I'm sure it happens in other breeds as well. That is the kind of "benefit" I see from the show ring. [/QUOTE]
