Which Show or Shows you will attend. Here are a few helpful hints. First - Steers or Heifers. The competition in showing steers is very tough. However, there is great prestige in these shows and you're finished with your 4H project in one year.
Heifers also offer tough competition.
Choosing heifers is a good way to start building your own herd. Second - Breeds Cattle breeds vary. Some are not as tough as others in the show ring. A good way to select a breed is to go watch a show with a variety of breeds to become familiar with what is available. Now, once you've decided what you'll be showing, you need to determine where to show.
