[QUOTE="SKF Show Cattle, post: 508674, member: 4313"] How much money you spend does not mean you will win. The first thing you need to do is learn to know what to look for when looking for a show calf. Remember when you go to look for a calf they will do a lot of growing and changing after you buy them so always start with their feet. If they don't have good sound feet when they are young they will not get better. Look for natural witdth by the way they stand naturally. Look for pleanty of flex in their joints, make sure they have a strong topline and they mantain a stong topling when they walk. Plus look for depth and body shape. If you learn what your looking at you can find some really good deals from of the smaller breeders. When you go to a breeder and tell them your looking for a champion calf there's a lot of breeders who will take advantage of you because they are going to assume you don't really know what your looking for. There is never a guarentee when buying a show calf. I've seen a $1000 calf beat a high dollor calf so you never know just go out there and have fun. [/QUOTE]
