[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1619220, member: 39695"] Youth shows should all be showmanship classes. My best friend and I have had this conversation several times; Do we pull the best calf out of the feedlot and teach the kids that you "shouldn't buy a win" or do we take his donor cow breed her cluby, and get some ET club calves and teach the kids that " that ribbon or county fair trophy is all that counts" ? My kids may never win a steer show, but they are going to learn that hard work pays off. And in a showmanship class they will be a force to contend with. A lot of 4H kids with a cattle background start by showing bottle calves. That's what we did. It's broken up by age groups so all the younger kids just starting out show together. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
