[QUOTE="Bez!, post: 186272, member: 2830"] Just because I love to stir the pot. If you have an animal that is sound and healthy - hair is the last thing you need to worry about. A good animal is a good animal. [u]Camoflaging the flaws with hair is why many folks will NOT purchase a breeder from the show line.[/u] Get away from the hair issues and get back to basic issues such as (in no particular order): 1. Structure 2. Conformation 3. Feed conversion 4. Attitude 5. Soundness 6. Breedability 7. Fertility And so on. You folks get these in hand and you will likely win anyways. As a person who does not buy from the show line - I have in the past - it is because usually the animal does not do well in the field. Are you showing for the sake of showing? Ie: beauty contest? If so, then all of the above is a moot point. Are showing for breed and / or herd improvement? Then all of what I have stated - and much more applies. Have fun folks and above all play fair - and do not let the politics get you down. Bez! [/QUOTE]
