[QUOTE="show steer up, post: 548385, member: 6939"] If you think that's amazing, get this Karen.... our kids don't know how lucky they are :D Not only is the numbers down on entrys but they get premium prices for sale. If you get into auction every kid will get at least 10k for their steers, around 4k for a lamb, and 6k for a pig:clap: Very seldome will they get less. Two years ago the bottom sale steer got 12k. We had a lot of mad people here when our auction took a dive last year, because of bad press. The bottom animal got 6k and many familys went away crying. Most of the steers at this fair cost the exibitor 8k to 23k to get to fair (stupid people.)So people did lose money, and I wasnt the least bit sorry for them. :banana: It's great we get the big bucks out here, but don't go and blow it on an expensive animal. I don't think any trophy is worth that. But people out here do, soooooooo the compitition is very very strong. :D I on the other hand am extremly greatful, anything over our cost is a blessing. I think last year our family and about three other kids were the only ones that made money last year :D anywhere else the kids would be jumping for joy...........but not here, oh no.........we have to many spoild brats. Because our fair is trying to keep our auction prices high, the kids can only have two animals in the auction. If they show steers and pigs, etc. only two of them can sell. this does have its draw back, its hard for a new person to get started out here. You deffinetly have to have a coat if your going to have any chance at sale. At this fair, no coat no sale and I don't care how good your animal is. So the new person who cant afford a cooler barn is out of luck. You cant do that for too many years :( Our fair also sells a cake in the auction. The grand champion cake will always pull in 6-12k.
