[QUOTE="capparelli, post: 257954, member: 3262"] They try to make it so that it is fair, in the end there is no auction and every one gets market price for their steer. The way you make money is by earning points. The number of points you earn depends on how much you do. You get points for attending seminars, showmanship, record books, record book tests, speaches about your project, various skills test, how your calf places, ect. Florida Cattlemen donate the calves to the State Fair and then we buy them from the fair for market price. You pull a letter out of a box and that tells you what pen you have to pick a steer out of, I got Pen B. There are around 8 calves in each pen and 6 exhibitors. Then you look at the calves in your pen and mark down your top choices on a peice of paper. You have to turn in that in and then they pull them out of a box and then it is just luck. If you are one of the last people to get drawn and all your picks have been taken then you can say you want to pick out of the redraw pen. The redraw pen is where the calves that didnt get picked go. I was the 5th in my pen to get drawn. Needless to say I went to the redraw pen. I ended up with my fourth pick from the pen I had the first time. I am not very happy with him. He is a Brangus Hereford cross, he is black with a mottled face. There were a few that I really liked in other pens, they were Angus Limo crosses and then one Angus Maine cross. I guess today wasnt my lucky day. :mad: [/QUOTE]
