[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1808782, member: 38220"] It took us several years to just get the basics down. We refused to buy big money cattle and always looked for the sleeper steer that we thought we could feed right and grow some show hair on. Start with show animal selection, then a feed program to keep them progressing and be fat at the terminal show, hair work, showmanship. My kid made his college money showing steers and selling at county fair from age 9 to 18. But we really preferred showing breeding heifers, mostly Angus heifers we purchased to eventually be part of the cow herd and a few we raised. We didn't win very often, but we could sure scare the ones who had a lot more money in it. My kid also liked showmanship because he didn't need the $10K steer to win it -- just had to outwork everyone else at home because it is reflects in how your stock behaves and handles when you get to town for the show.
