This is a hard one to call since I know what other heifer's are out there. Plus, isn't your other son showing the April 04 heifer? That would put that heifer and the cow/calf pair in the same division, but, then I can think of 4 or 5 other heifer's that are also in this same division, I think you know which ones that I'm talking about. 3 of the 5, I know will be there. The heifer that won the Fall Classic, will it be shown or will she go with one of her other breeds? Who knows? As far as actual class, there may only be two maybe three in it.
The younger calf is the 5/05 right? There won't be much competion for her in her actual class, most have just been picked up in the last month or so or are now just being picked up, but, there is 5 or 6 months age difference in the division.
David Jett, the judge, he didn't judge at the Fall Classic. Was he the judge last year at San Antonio? If he did, the junior simbrah show was a disaster. Some of the really good heifer's he put second and third in the class. In fact the heifer that won houston was second in class a San Antonio, beat by a heifer that should have never beat it. Basically, the judge at San Antonio last year liked black cattle.
Like I said this is a hard one. Good luck to your boys which ever way you guys decide to go.
We don't do Ft. Worth, it and San Antonio are too close. We do San Antonio because of the Superbowl. Are you guys doing San Antonio?
