Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-08-01

stock breeder in Lewis and
Clark County and a judge at
major livestock shows in the
west. here makes his second
contribution TO the pages of
Montana Farmer-Stockman beef
cattle issues.
THE LIVESTOCK SHOW has be-
come an American tradition. That
it has proved its value for the inn
provement of our breeds of livestock
is generally unquestioned. There are
a few, however, who, for reasons of
their own, desire to attract atten-
ton to their theory that stock shows
are too artificial to be of practical
use in improving our cattle.
This adjective is misleading, to
say the least, implying that in fit
ting his cattle for show, the pure
bred breeder has added qualities
which his animals do not naturally
posses.
Why shouldn't the breeder show
his cattle looking at their best?
Years of breeding, months of feeding
have gone into them, and he is
proud of the result, proud of achiev-
ing the aim of this longtime pro-
gram-that of making better seed
stock available for the producer of
market cattle. A little window dress
ing does not necessarily detract
from the value of the merchandise
displayed, serving merely to call at
tention to virtues which might other
wise be overlooked.
Practical Findings
In regard to the show ring find
ings being of practical use to the
average cattleman, they have every
reason to be just that. The men
picked to judge in all the shows of
merit, large or small, are nearly
always men who have had practical
experience with cattle. Some have
been successful breeders and i'm
provers of livestock, others are, or
have been, engaged in the business
of feeding steers. These men know
what they are looking for.
AS breeders of registered cattle,
we have shown under many judges.
Some of their decisions are hard to
agree with at the time, but later,
by taking an unbiased look at the
animals in question, I have been
able to see the reasons for the plac-
ings. Without single exception, we
have never shown cattle in any
show, large or small, but what we
have learned something of value
to us.
By having our cattle compared
with those of other good breeder:
we can see as in no other way where
we need to improve. At these shows
the best representatives of the hes
herds are brought in for competition
These cattle may not all be of tn,
correct type, but those who stud.
the judges placings can see wha
characteristics are most desirable il

The Livestock Show
By w. ]. HARRER

ing OF Cne1r CHOSEN DreeQ. here Cne
beginner, as well as the old time
breeder, if observant, can learn
much about selecting animals for
his own herd. In my opinion there
are not nearly enough livestock peo-
pie who attend the shows and who
thus miss the greatest opportunity
they will ever have to learn more
about their own business.
The show ring judge picks for
his top animal one that has the meat
in the right places, that is having
the maximum of the choice beef
cuts, as well as showing the right
temperament and intelligence, which
is most evident in the head. He
wants the animal to have strong
heart, lung and feed capacity, with
sound legs and feet to carry him
under all conditions. Above all, the
animal must be thrifty and good
doer, which is indicated by his hide,
general condition and weight for
age.
All these may be what the judge
looks for as he views the cattle
standing away from them where he
can get better perspective. Their
he inspects them as they walk, look
ing for free leg action and erect car.
riage of the back and head. Defect.
in the legs and general conforma
ton mostly show up when the ami
mails are in action.
Fleshing Qualities
He then examines them more
closely, placing his hands on then
so that he can feel for fleshing quail
tiles. A good beef animal shoulc
feel firm and yet pliable and mellow
under the palm of his hand.
By this time the judge has in hi
mind the first three placings. H
looks at these again. Perhaps on
of these superior animals is not a
smooth as the others or has som
defect which the other two do no
have. AS is often the case, he ma,
have several animals, in the elias:
of outstanding conformation an
quality. He then places them accord
ing to the degree in which he think
they possess these desirable char
acteristics.
The influence of these winnin
animals is tremendous, as it is cal
ried back on to the farms and range
where beef cattle are produced fe
the great feed lots of the middl
west and far west.
So would like to emphasize:
No breeder of purebreds, whethe
large or small breeder, should nes
lect an opportunity to witness an
showing of his breed. 1t is not onl
the winner of the show that
worthy of attention. Since our be
breeders are represented, every an
NAL in the exhibition should be Of
served for their good qualities.
The livestock show today, as
years past, serves well the nee
of the cattle industry, and so h
withstood the test of time.

Would it be proper to leave the
price as is, or would you advise
crossing it out, or perhaps even
cutting it out, both of which, to
my way of thinking, would be
marring to the appearance OF
the book? It would take quite
a lot of crossing out to COM
pletely blot out the price.
Answer: There is no reason
why you should remove the price
AS it is so well known, removing
it would be absurd.
