[QUOTE="Colorado2008, post: 571323, member: 4094"] [b][color=#FF8000]I see where you are coming from and in my mind you are partially right. Industry standards do not want a steer that big on the rail but where I don't agree with you is that som of these steers NEED to be that big in order to be properly finished. And also some of these steers that are weighing upwards of 900 lbs. these kids could be taking these steers to some other prospect shows between now and then to where they need to be be a bit larger to compete. I have done this many times. Our county fair is in the first part of August and we have also showed at the prospect show in January at National Western. We wanted the steers to go to denver at a bout 700-750...and that is on the smaller side of what people bring in. Then after Denver was over we would take them down off the cooked corn and we would stop pushing grain so hard until about end of April begining of May when more jackpot shows come up. Thats just my two cents worth.[/color][/b] [/QUOTE]
