We bought a registerd simmental heifer a few months ago for my daughter that was a fall calf. We paid $1000. for it. I thought that was expensive. We have some kids in the FFA paying in the thousands. One has done ok made the reserves but I think he may have made his money on what he paid but that was it. Crazy isnt it. All the judges think differantly. You just never know from one show to the next who will win. I think the blow and shows are good. They let you see more of what kind of calf you really have. I hate it when the parents do all the prep work while the kids stands around and watches or is not even near. What is that teaching them. My daughter has to do the work herself or the Ag teacher helps. We are looking to bred this heifer with another reg. simmental this winter. Any advice you all have? Were new at it.
