[QUOTE="jaydill, post: 243472, member: 2094"] Why not? Most show steers are raised and shown until harvest weight at which time most kids take them to major County or State shows and sell them for slaughter. I disagree with your statement that riding steers are more profitable. Show steers (for slaughter) sell for thousands of dollars in the end...whether you make the major show's auction or not. Going to majors, you've got a chance to make hundreds of thousands (i.e. the Ft Worth grand champ steer taking $100K). There is also a larger market for slaugher steers than there is for riding steers. I'm not sure how familiar you are with this show steer thing but you ought to look into it! Jay [/QUOTE]
