[QUOTE="simme, post: 1810851, member: 40418"] Show ring can be a bad thing. But I think chasing any trend or single trait (frame, milk, carcass, growth, color, epd numbers, pedigree, showring performance, feedlot performance, etc) at the expense of overall balance is the bigger issue. Chasing single traits to an extreme will cause a person to compromise on overall functional traits and may lead to hard doing cattle, bad structured cattle, giants, midgets and cattle that don't work. Fertile cows that will have and nurture a live calf that grows at an acceptable rate and thrive on the forages available are still important. Show ring can cause a person to go astray. But the feedlot and packer may do the same. [/QUOTE]
