[QUOTE="VCC, post: 678914, member: 6399"] Well you can win with hard work and you do mot need hair, this past week we had our county fair, my son won the 4-H division with a steer that was not in a cooler. He was rinsed twice a day and kept in a shaded area behind fans during the day, we would do this wether the calf could grow hair or not, tends to make them pretty gentle by fair time. He beat out 2 very hairy, high dollar calves in the 4-H final drive, neither were very sound, cool looking but on the move they fell apart. He did not beat the FFA champion, this came from the same family that had the 2 hairy calves in the 4-H. The calf that won it all was something else, was destined for our state fair but they did not get the DNA turned in on time so they brought all the calves to the county fair. does not make a lot of sense to bring 10 to 20 thousand dollar steers to a county fair that usually nets the champion $10 a pound but it is their money. side not: son won senior beef showmanship, gentle calf that has been worked with helps [/QUOTE]
