Any non clubby bull reports?
Which ones you interested in hearing about?
lowline angus
conventional horned hereford
any colored cattle (ie original color pattern), ie piedmontaise, pinzgauer, fleckvieh,
non-show pedigree angus
in other words, does anyone still use denver to advertise their breed or is it degenerating into just show cattle.
years ago at the grand national in san francisco, all sorts of breeds of all sorts of farm animals would bring their animals for display only, ie there was no show for them. the grand national use to have a very diverse audience, now it's literally only show people including horses and the show is almost dead and in my opinion, worthless.
as mentioned before, they should do a little market outreach or something to get regular people to attend. to me, it would probably de-emphasize all the "real estate" necessary to put hairspray on cattle and increase the real estate for products to sell to the public. shows that only serve themselves are playing to a smaller and smaller audience.
