I thought the quality was great,especially the market steers. To each his own. John Boyds farmer feeder red steer was really nice as well as Jared huffmans Jr feeder steer. Well done to the exhibitors

It has nothing to do with the eastern states not having good enough steers. The money is here to buy them and the know-how is here to feed and finish them right. It's the FAIRS that need to get the businesses to spend the big bucks on those sale animals like they do in the midwest. I guarantee you that there would be steers shown in the east that could easily run with the midwestern steers IF they were chasing those same six-figure sale prices.

Thats right. First of all, there is need for cursing. Second of all, year after year calves run through the livestock roundup that go to the midwest or ohio and compete. Willis Farms sold a caf that won a show in Ohio. John Boyd competes all over and wins. Teets sell calves all over the country. The spikers sell calves that compete all over the country. Cody Rice shows and sells calves all over the country. Along with the Mchales and Johnsons. These producers successfully sell calves all over the country that compete. The quality is here along with the know-how. There are junior exbitors reading these post, therefore profanity shouldn't be used. Next, everyone has there personal opinions. I felt the quality was down, and other breeders that exibited there also agreed with me. Im not saying evey calf stunk, I am saying as a whole, the quality wasdown compared to last year. If you don't agree I am sorry, but before you post something else, please mature a bit, then continue with your posting.

As far as Codys ability to fit its shit. and i have never seen where he has sold a good one.

Once again afteranother glorious year of showing cattle in the state of West Virginia, the drama again continues for yet another year . I haven't said anything against anyone, yet someone has to bash me. If it is shit, I take it I have beat you somewhere down the road. Your right I have never sold a good one. Like when in 2005 a steer I sold stood Reserve at the Eastern National? or the heifer that was reserve Mainetainer at the Keystone last Fall? Next, my fitting ability i leave to the people who hire me. Im pretty sure last year i had 3 grand or reserves divisions at the state fair, reserve colored heifer at the mill, reserve angus steer at the mill, reserve mainetainer at the keystone. This year i fitted the grand and reserve heifer at the preview heifer show along with 4 grand or reserve division winners at the preview. Nextly i fitted the champion Chi and two grand or reserve angus heifers at this years state fair. Lastly, for each show in the state this year, I am booked to fit. Therefore i will rest my case. If i suck so bad, i don't know why these people hire me, nor do i know why these calves consistently reached the winners circle. I think the problem with people like you are, you should concentrate on shutting up and fitting and showing better cattle yourself. I take pride in the cattle i show, sell, and fit. I have worked hard to get to where i am, and i have donw it by myself. If you care to, pick up a halter and i will challenege you at anyshow. But, i find this rather petty. Instead of saying what an excellent job the juniors did, we must bash them. The trouble with websites like this is, everyone can bash people who win and not have the balls to post there name. If you would care to tell me what exactly you have done i would care to listen, or if you would like to continue this conversation like an adult, you can reach me at 681-285-5685 or sizzler14@live.com. I believe we should leave this talk board to congradulationg exibitors or asking questions in the cattle world to which we don't know the ansewers too. So Amature Fitter, please contact me. Thank you

my congrats too you. So what your saying is, you too can not grow a good one, you have to use someone elses? get over yourself. i get no enjoyment out of arguing over stuff like this. When you make it with your own herd and prove that you can breed one and sell one then comment on this thread. If your going to remain a steerjock and fitter becuase you can't grow one, then just shut up.

Ill have you know cody rice has been my fitter for years and if im not mistaking im pretty sure the last couple shows I went to I won. Coming from a person that uses mr. Rice as a fitter I'm very pleased and his abilities aren"t shit cause my stuff isn't shit.

hes a young man whos having a very successful start to his own company that he has started from the ground up. i havent seen him sell any calves through the mill because i have tried to buy them. as far as fitting goes, i do believe he is in the winners circle alot. he is a fitter that i want my young children to be around. he isnt a drunk or asshole and he tries to help young children. i would recommend cody rice to fit for anybody. he is a winner and at a young age, hes a class act.

Heres the thing. Cody is learning, getting better, and working hard. The thing that tends to bring his name up is that "someone unknown" gets on here and says things like his heifer last year is the best to ever come out of WV. That is an outlandish statement! She was good/respectable...not great...not the best ever. Now many think he did that trying to hype her up but idk. It could very well have been to very missguided people. Either way he didn't start this and doesn't deserve to be bashed. He does work hard. There are a few things he does when fitting that could be improved, but he tries to get better and is fair.

Posted by PA on August 21, 2011, 9:39 pm, in reply to "Re: wv state fair steer show"

i agree he doesnt deserve to get bashed. And it doesn't matter, but alot of peoples problem with his heifer last year was, they believed the heifer he took to the mill and the state fair were the same heifer. they weren't. i bought the heifer he took to the mill private treaty and he kept the heifer from the state fair. they were both sired by point taken. but two different heifers.

Re: wv state fair steer show

Posted by WV on August 22, 2011, 12:09 am, in reply to "Re: wv state fair steer show"

That misconception may have been out there but the heifer he kept wasn't even close to being able to live up to the hype that was scattered on this board. I was expecting a nationally competitive heifer and she was an average heifer with pretty good hair.

Get a life people and worry about yourselves. This kid is trying to make it in the cattle world and be honest..that's probably more than most of you can say especially you Chris...bought one of your heifers years ago at the mill and you told me it was out of one bull, your sister told me another bull and OBrien told me another...when I had a vet run a dna on it it wasn't any of them and the calf ended up being full of TH and you claimed it wasnt TH positive...so to me your opinion is like ass.... everyone has one and I wouldn't believe yours if it was the only one. So grow up and leave this kids alone who are just starting out on their own and find yourself a new hobby

just wanted to clear the air because this is the first message i have posted on this board, so its not me bashing cody or anybody, so maybe before you try a bash me you should make sure you got the right "chris" thanks.

Who cares? Every year its the same thing. He has a great calf. He is a good fitter, blah blah blah. I could post on here that he is going to be the next President of the US but that doesn't mean its true and it typically just makes people waste more time talking about him. All that matters at the Mill is how much calves sell for and how tasty they are.

I also wanted to state that my brother and I do not support anyone who openly bashes other exhibitors over a faceless message board. At least spell my name right if I'm such a friend & mentor buddy.
