[QUOTE="splinter ridge farm, post: 701190, member: 11155"] My opinion is to the contrary...How many car shows have you gone to, were the cars were not polished, buffed and detailed? How many sporting, music, racing events have you seen that the participants show up only 1/2 prepared. Why? Because it is a SHOWING! Not just a participation event for those involved. We choose to be involved in "SHOW CALVES". I believe a kid should learn the industry from every angle. I don't mind a dry show (no fit show), but I feel those who have the competitive nature will rinse & blow out their calves daily, train the hair and it will still look better than 90% of those calves in which their has been no attention. Why? Because so many people want to complain, but when it comes down to it they really don't want to go that extra mile. I am not justifying or condoning high dollar show calves; by the way a high dollar calve does not normally come groomed and stay flawless until shows. The purchaser has to work the hair daily. I personally don't buy the high dollar calves, but I am not gonna pout about those who do. I will work with what I have to work with and I will loose more than I will win, but they will know I was in the ring. C'mon people, give credit were credit is do. Shouldn't the one who works the hardest win? [/QUOTE]
