[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 62569, member: 968"] No we are not taking him to Denver. He was shown at Louisville NAILE last year & was Div Champ. We had him with Chan Phillips this summer and he was shown at Simm Sweepstakes in Louisville, was Res Div Champ (biggest feather in our cap was that he beat WLE Influence! - that was BIG). We had planned on returning him to Phillips after Eastern National & Keystone, but Chan said he needed to weigh 2000 for Denver. At Keystone he weighed about 1800 & we thought he was putting on too much outside fat, so we thought he would look like a toad at 2000#. We turned him out on pasture with 1/2 his ration of grain. He easily weighed 2000# in November with less fat. He must have had a growth spurt. Maybe we should have continued showing him but it is SOOOO costly & such a gamble. Even with a professional fitter, politics are wicked. We will be displaying him at Ohio Beef Expo in March. He is signed up with two semen companies. We'll let his calves speak for him now. [/QUOTE]
