Ah, my bad...but I have heard that there are some really bad slick-shear shows in Texas too...just as I'm sure you've heard about our bad hair shows...I have respect for anyone that's willing to shave off all the hair on their calf and then show it. I would say that If you can't slick off your steer and him still be good, then you didn't have a good one to begin with. Heifers is a different story, and I like growing the hair and fitting it..but then again, our cows out in the pasture don't need hair to look good...I just hope that slick shear shows never catch on up north..it's too much fun to fit! (lol)
