[QUOTE="HerefordSire, post: 639909, member: 4437"] [i]Jeanne - Simme Valley...very nice animals as always. Aero...I have never shown an animal but I have always wondered why shows exist to justify the additional money, especially in a recession. Would it be fair to say an additonal $1,000 is paid for a show animal relative to a steer with edible beef? I can understand a parent wanting their children to be around livestock instead of mind altering substances, among other good benefits. This would be worth extra some money for sure. Do the children compete with grownups or do they separate adults from the children? Also, is it possible for an adult multiplier to flood the market with show animals and make good money since it seems like the prices could be high? The reason I ask is... times are tough as you know, and it would help an operation to generate some non-edible beef revenue and leverage a land base so one can pay for important items a commercial cattleman needs.[/i] [/QUOTE]
