[QUOTE="Steve123, post: 1820703, member: 38418"] FL isn't know as the Show Steer raising capital of the world (unless you want an "American"). With fuel prices and your time at a premium you need to spend most of your time on the phone. Call someone in your area that has a good eye and looks at hundreds of calves a year to find that next great one. Steve Bonham sells in the neighborhood of 700 show steers a year and his crew probably looks at 1000's to get them. Call Baylor or one of his crew and they can find you exactly what you want for the price you want to pay. A great source is someone that travels around and "fits" for the high dollar folks. They always have a cousin, uncle, friend that raises a few on the side and they know what they are looking at. He is the one standing in all the back drop photos with dirty knees and black all over his face. Don't buy anything unless you or someone you trust has seen them in person. I stopped buying in the online sales unless I see the cattle. It seemed like anything I thought I got a deal on would show up with a blue eye, a really bad attitude or be half the size they should be. Good luck. It is a fun time of year. [/QUOTE]
