[QUOTE="jnowack, post: 232374, member: 3954"] There are just as many judges out there with different ideas and preferences as there are people on this board with different ideas and preferences. There are some judges that will like this bull. He is a nice bull. There are some judges that will like other bulls better. There are also 2 major segments in showing and 2 types of judges. There are the breeds and breeders that fall into the mainstream of the beef industry and then there are club calf people. Some breeds are mostly club calf breeds. Some breeds have both club calf breeders and breeders who sell commercial bulls. Most club calf breeders breed strictly for the show ring. In a breed such as shorthorns where there are both types it is almost like having 2 separate breeds of cattle at the same show. The steer judges are not going to pick the same cattle that a breeder judge is going to pick. There are a lot of breeders who show that have good honest cattle that are bred to work and produce on pasture. For me showing is plain and simple advertising. I sell commercial bulls and can get my cattle seen by a lot of people by taking them to shows. Win lose of draw I bred them, I raised them and they work for me and my customers. You can learn a lot from a good judge if you just listen to what they say instead of getting to wrapped up in where the cattle place. There are great cattle that stand last in class all over the country and somebody has to lose for somebody to win. [/QUOTE]
