This particular animal came from a load of western steers. Her father finishes about 600-700 head a year. Although she has showed at Harrisburg in past years, Lmda doesn’t know if she will go there this year or not.“l think I’ll feed him for round up,” she explained, “but, six weeks is about his limit, and not Farm Show.” Linda’s brother, Tim, was another repeat from the year before.
