Favorite steer

[Rustynail]

I  have became it total pic junkie. I really like looking a pictures of all the great stock everyone has.  We have had new calf pics and others ,but now I would like to see your favorite show calf pic.  Steer or heifer.  Notice I said favorite not best or most successful.

I love these two.  You can see how much dimension they possess from these angles.  Anyone know whose steers they were anyways??

Not the best pictures but I'll send them anyway. They didn't win any majors--the roan heifer stood second in class to the reserve champion at the Iowa State Fair junior show--but from personality,etc. they have become farm favorites.  Best thing is that they both have good calves on the ground and are both good mommas!!
The roan and my daughter Allix were also featured in an IPTV show last summer.  If you want to see it look up IPTV.com and then go the Iowa State Fair collection and look up State Fair prep winner.  We also really like the heifer pictured in our avatar!!

On the 2 steers. The first stayed in tx, I saw a pic of him where he won simmental division(TJLA) show yesterday but now I cant remember what website. The 2nd one looks like a paddy o malley bull that tony austin had but I could be mistaken.

That 101 steers looks just like a steer that Collins had for sale in the Private Treaty Sale last year.  Maybe there is another one, but this one looks very familar.  I am not sure about the smokey steer.

I know that the red and white calf was sold by Bonham, and he is sired by Habegers Texas Hold'em, and that the smoke calf was bred by Clevengers in Texas.

my favorite steer

I wonder if he was stylish, sound, hairy and had good bone??????  A "prime" example of why show cattle really don't have anything to do with real cattle....

I dont agree with that.  Our show heifers have to be good enough to go into the pasture and work for us too. Same with bulls.

I made that red and white steer my desktop background back when he was for sale.  I love the color and mass of him.  I would love to see a pic of him finished out.

This is the only steer I have so he's my favorite!

I totally agree.  He looks like a good fat steer AND a good show steer.  I think this is what show steers should look like anyways.  There is getting to be too many shallow boddied, goose necked calves that you have to feed "special" expensive rations to make them look like anything.  Bonham definately has a WHALE of a set of calves, and they are all presented VERY well.  Marketing, Marketing, Marketing!

I'm sure glad someone else put some pictures of their own calves on here--I was starting to feel like an idiot for putting pictures of our heifers on here some time ago.

Really the original thread did say "steers or heifers"  and if I look long and hard enough I can usually tell the difference.  Not bad for an Iowegian!!

The red and white steer in an earlier photo went to a big-time showing family around Austin (the Tuckers).  They won overall at Fort Worth in 06 and have had several breed champions at majors.  I don't know what the steer did at our majors this year (or even if he was showed at one), but he was a champion or reserve Simmental at our TJLA Fall Classic over Thanksgiving.
