Profile of Lenoir


2nd place to Champion Calf - Licorice, February heifer calf.
 
I commented in another thread, he weighed 968# on 8-17 - born 1-1-23 on a 2-year old dam. NOT heavy grained - neither one (none of my show string is). Each gets 3# of half WSC and half filler pellets twice a day. Last workup on the farm, he had a 4.11 WPDA. A commercial breeder has purchased bulls from me for maybe 7 years. He has had "1st pick" of the bull calves for the past 3 years. Of course, this was his pick.

Reckon you will be able to check with the new owners from time to time this summer to see how he is handling it? I would guess just fine, and hearing about it might make more people down here realize black Simms can be a good option.
 
Unreal the amount of work you have put into those, not counting the years it took to get nice cattle like that, get them into show condition, transporting and taking care of them. I have been at the cattle show at Louisville a couple times and those people live their cattle.
 
LOL 😆 only a little over 50 years.
Showing cattle takes time and money, but it is the best advertising I can do.
It amazes me at this show the number of fancy big farms never even set up in the barn. They are scattered over ACRES of parking lot with gates and tents hooked to the side of their trailer. No signs. Zero PR, other than walking in the ring on show day.
 
When I was in the registered Charolais business we went to the North American ever year to the show, I never did any any showing other than a couple county fairs as a teen. I always enjoyed walking through the cattle and the exhibits in what they used to call the worlds largest country store. I’ve went there at other times over the years to see mules and jack stock, goats, sheep etc too but it’s been a long time since I’ve been there.
