[QUOTE="KEW, post: 412559, member: 47"] Hillsdown: I think your comments may be a little too general. This was a post asking about Murray Grey cattle, and I doubt you have anything to do with the breed. I on the other hand have been involved since 1984. I know for a fact, that in North Americia, that the people who show Murray Greys are the same people that run the family farms and ranches, there are no 'show only' breeders involved in North Americia! My intentions in mentioning the show at the Ohio State Fair was not to necessarily promote the show cattle, but to give a person another tool for them to use in researching the breed. The good thing about a show, is it brings many breeders together in one spot and their cattle can be compared visually in a side by side environment. If a type of cattle are what is desired, then there would surely be a follow up session on the farm/ranch to see the cattle in the 'normal' environment. If that 'environment' does not match the 'environment' to which the cattle will be moving to, then serious consideration would be necessary on the decision if they are the right cattle. The second good thing about a show environment is a person can see first hand how the breeders interact with one another, and impressions are made that would determine if that is the person to do business with. And lastly, if intentions are to be involved in the Murray Grey organizations, then contacts are made and introductions are in place. Kevin [/QUOTE]
