[QUOTE="aussie_cowgirl, post: 672346, member: 1279"] As mentioned the show circuits in america have changed with competition into what they are today. But I think the saddest thing is that these kids are not learning about what the livestock industry is all about. Careful breeding, feeding and training for show. I have never seen an animal at our shows aced. Every breeder spends time training our show animals. Instead of teaching kids how to take shortcuts and bandaid problems on individuals, why not teach them how to fix the problem at the root, you know, breeding. Even these hobby farmers. Buy a couple of cows. Get some good semen and grow your own instead of fuelling the fire by buying STEERS etc for ridiculous prices. Kids also need to learn that the cattle industry is not skin deep. Literally. And they need to learn that black is not the only way!!!! [/QUOTE]
