Oh so now we have to pay 20x times amount of steer price to just a buy a steer from a young kid? To me its just stupid.branguscowgirl":1tttnpft said:It's all about the kids. Either it is a corporation that buys the champion steer every year, or maybe even a friend of the family contributing to his college fund.......
Did you see the blind steer that a little girl raised? It took her months just to gain its trust. But she got it done.

Good for the little girl.
No Muddy, you don't "have to pay 20x times amount"! Buy a regular steer!! This is to help the kids. A donation of sort. It doesn't affect the cattle market at all!Muddy":1cgdeb5z said:Oh so now we have to pay 20x times amount of steer price to just a buy a steer from a young kid?

A lot of things are unnecessary. Ft worth champion steers have been bringing extraordinarily high prices for years, maybe the highest of any show? I'm not sure, but it's not new and not likely to change because a few people on the internet don't understand. I don't understand why anyone would pay $100/month for a cell phone, but a lot of people do it.Muddy":1cl4cd86 said:I totally get it, its for kids but its unnecessary to pay $210,000 for a kid's steer. That $210,000 alone can easily paid the entire tuition for a master degree and still have extra $$$ left.
