[QUOTE="show steer up, post: 510564, member: 6939"] Hi, just wanted to say,I agree with you, "a kid deserves it." I have been showing for over 21 years now. My kids do most of the showing now days. You have to set a price for yourself and no matter what anyone else thinks, do what you think is best for your family. This year my children spent seven hundred on two show animals and five thousand on the other two animals. We bought the animals from local ranchers. One ranch shows their stock all over the four corners area and they kick butt. The other rancher never showed an animal in his life. I went out in his field with the kids and showed them how to pick an animal on the walk. It was a little more chalanging for them because the animals were not tied to a fence. All in all it was a great experience. Of course the more exspencive animals kick butt over our budget animals but the money return is far better. Give the kid a choice, let him make up his minde what is more important to him. The pocket book at the end of the adventure or the win and all its glory for all that hard work. Maybe just placing a few animals up the line will be all he needs. Also, my kids hold more weight on their showmanship trophies than anything else. They still have not won round robin and that is their goal. My kids that show are 11 and the other is 13. They financed there own way, everything we own for the cattle they have bought including the hourse trailer,electric walker, and cooler barn. I hope you get the chance to buy a real nice animal for him, every child deserves a chance to go for the big one. No matter how much or little you have to spend to get it. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
