Not trying to pick on anybody, but this is the problem I have with anything to do with "show cattle", and the reason Im glad I quit trying to show cattle at the fair and played baseball instead.  I got tired of spending the time and effort raising and training a homegrown calf with nothing special, just feed and water, and then get beaten by kids whos parents spent $$$ to buy them a club calf, give it all kinds of extra "help" just to win a small town county fair. 

Sorry for the rant its just a pet peeve of mine.
