My kids been showing steers now for 4 years and I am in the market for the 5th year steer. I was thinking I want to try to find a better quality calf that can compete but after looking at prices I'm not sure we will be doing that. I currently pay 1500 for there steers and with the market I'm sure will have to go up some but some of these I'm liking are $5,000 to $10,000 and that's not gonna happen. They will gross around 8,000 at the end of project and more if they win grand.
When I was a kid I found a family that raised club calves but sent them to a feed yard. Sold a few steers but not halter broke or anything like that guess they sold them to steer traders but that was my senior year and don't remember who is was. I won grand that year. I know there are calves that are green that has the potential to compete I just got to find them.
So does anyone know of club calf breeders that raise calves but don't really market them? Or Someone that has extremely good calves at reasonable prices?
Looking for spring born calves with final fat show end of October!!
