[QUOTE="TxSimbrahShower, post: 673832, member: 621"] Yes, because those nice perfectly straight backed, squared animals, look that way because of the hair. The judge could actually see the animal. Houston, San Antonio and State Fair are all slick shows. They have plenty of steers at them. The best steer ends up at the bottom, because the judge forgets which one is finished, they all look alike, black. The people here in Texas put these cattle in coolers to grow hair, last I heard alot of folks up north with these high dollar cattle have heated barns. The biggest shows here in Texas are slick sheared. As far as showing steers, yeah, I showed some, however, I didn't spend big money for any of them. I was never that interested in steers. Most of them came from right here out of the pasture. I can still remember the people at the state fair that my home grown steer, who all the money we had in him was feed, asking how much we had paid for him because he was higher in the class then their $5000.00 steer. Funny thing, they both went on the truck and brought the same amount per lb. I made money, they lost money. The 2 that I showed this year, just for fun because I was a senior, the one that went to Houston went on the truck, made money, the one that I showed at our county fair, is currently cut, wrapped and ice cold in the freezer. Both born right here on the place. They were true market steers, both could go straight from the show ring to the freezer, no having to feed them another 30 to 60 days to put fat on them to make them where they were fit to eat. Now heifer's that's a different story, I can make money back from them. [/QUOTE]
