[QUOTE="VCC, post: 865270, member: 6399"] King - how is someone ripping someone off, if the cattle are the same, buy the cheaper one. If someone is willing to pay 3000 or 50,000 for a steer because they (yes they) feel it is worth it, thin let them pay it. Calves would not sell for what they sell for if someone was not willing to pay that much for it. We try to find the best steer we can for our budget, if the kid wanted to spend 1500 he found the best he could for that price. If he found a steer for less he liked he bought it. I also have seen kids who found the cheapest steer they could (less than market) and they were worth what they paid for them. I think the one steer finished out at 1100 pounds 7 month after the fair. As far as the judge not giving reasons, shame on him, there is no real excuse for that. That was just one judge, many judges are great with the kids and make it educational and enjoyable. He did not ask age since most of them would have been wrong anyways, a lot of cows are rebred before the current calves are even born. ;-) [/QUOTE]
