[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1809775, member: 968"] Simme - your post is NOT an exaggeration (outside the 4-H program). But, trust me - you would NOT want to EAT most of these steers. They are not being promoted for their meat. They are fed to hold a certain weight for quite a while. Not the best thing for finished beef. Showing is and always has been a GREAT project for kids and FAMILY. You can't find a better group of kids to work with. PARENTS can sure screw up a great program. Only want THE BEST for their kids. Spending tons of money on a project calf. Hiring the best fitters to follow them around. I am a stickler on PARENTS HANDS OFF policy. I used to post that all over the barn, saying that THEY COULD GET THEIR CHILD DISQUALIFIED. It worked. But, sad to say, outside of a county 4-H show, no one enforces any rules. [/QUOTE]
