[QUOTE="blackcowz, post: 892558, member: 8834"] Insofar as showing is concerned, Denver is a prime example of where it all began. A marketing tool! The ring and the yards are perfect places to display your best genetics and showcase your abilities. A good definition I like to use is showcasing superior genetics performing in an ideal environment. That's essentially the base of it. Show cattle can be mated to more practical breeds to produce some outstanding cattle. I get the chance to help display a bull calf sired by Bojo out of a full blood Lowline cow. Calving ease in a cool, hairy package. Not to mention feed efficient out on grass. I think it's safe to say there is not end all - be all breed out there. Each breed offers something different and each breeding program puts their unique spin on things. So tell your young showman to keep up the good work with his breed and enjoy it. Although, a piece of advice I might just throw out there for you to smoke in your pipe. In Indiana especially, if you're trying to win a purple ribbon at the county show, go buy a good, club calf sired steer. I wouldn't recommend a heifer if you're producing functional full bloods. But I think the chance to develop a good breeder relationship and enjoy hauling a really good one to your show after all the hard work you put in is a great experience. [/QUOTE]
