[QUOTE="Keren, post: 562629, member: 3195"] Does your steer show have weight specifications for the classes? Is there is maximum weight? Was he within the specifications? If this steer was in the class specifications, then he shouldnt be discriminated against. If there is a certain weight that deems an animal unsuitable for the markets, then the cut off points for the classes should reflect this. If the show has a weight category for a 1320 lb steer, then one would think logically there would be a market for that beast. In our steer shows, we have an upper and lower weight restriction. Only if they go above or below it, are they penalised in the show ring. Similarly, I am running a goat carcase comp for early next year. The processor cannot process carcasses under 10kg, so if anything is under 26kg liveweight in the showring, it will get penalised. But it wont be penalised for being right on 26kg, because it is still within the limit and there is a market for it, even though the market for a 35kg wether is stronger and has more demand. Does that make sense? [/QUOTE]
