I know this should be on the show board but, this is pretty much the commercial 3waycross we have been working towards. I couldn't help showing him and my little Sweetheart off. This is her first try at showing beef. She is 14 and REALLY small for her age, as you can tell from the pictures. I picked out the calf for her with two things in mind #1 and most important disposition, #2 conformation. Looks like we got it right on both counts. She took Grand Champion at the Teller County Fair today.

The calf is 1/2 Angus 1/4 Gelbvieh, and 1/4 Shorthorn. He weighed 1236 lbs. The judge told her she had him finished perfectly, and I agree.

Looks like it has a lot of strength through the top line which I love to see in a steer. Is that you the proud Dad in the bottom picture? Your daughter looks stoked :D Well done to both of you! :clap:

A 3 way cross won the last steer competition I went to. It was smaller than the others but the hind quarter and top line were amazing on it and it was finished spot on. Beautiful animal.
 
She's not mine. Wish she was. I am stuck with 3 boys/men.

She belongs to some friends who live up near Cripple Creek Colo.

I gotta tell ya the hug I got when she came out of that ring was sure priceless. Probably got her a heck of a discount on next years calf.
 
Looks like you and your daughter did a great job 3 way, congrats.
 
Mighty pretty young lady and a good looking steer to have to have there picture made with such a ugly old peckerwood. :lol: You got a right to be proud 3way.
 
Congratulations! That's a nice steer, you can tell she put a lot of hard work into the care of the calf, and you did your part with the breeding and genetics. It's nice when all the hard work pays off.

3way-

Congratulations! WOW! It looks to me as if there are three WINNERS on this thread. The Calf is a WINNER, the girl is CERTAINLY a WINNER, and the guy with the stern look and sophisticated Mustache is a "REEL" WINNER! He looks like a "Duke" Wayne" Movie type! I can just hear him saying, "Wu-u-l, Hawdy there Pilgrim! Ya'll kin just - - Fill Yore Hand if'n yu' say enythin' close tu' - - bad about these sweethearts!"

You did a great job, 3way. I'm jes' proud tu' know yu'!

I am impressed by the disposition you bred into that steer too. As you said, she's a pretty petite young lady to be working a steer like that. He sure better have a good disposition! Congratulations!
 
Good looking steer.
Had to do a double take because she looked like my daughter from behind, same shirt and everything. :D
 
Great job all around! Congrats, and here's a good reason to be proud. :nod:
