Tip from Ambassador Bob May: The best way to plan for an upcoming show is to be strategic before livestock are even purchased.

“When I help my kids select their next show project, we keep these 3 points in mind:

1. The animal must be structurally sound.
2. Genetics help predict performance. We want a sire with predictability to produce a good-looking calf that has a high likelihood of being a champion steer.
3. Know your target show and what your priorities are. Selecting for prospects can be different than for a market show.”
