Informative Essay On Club Calves

John E. Stapleford’s book called Bulls, Bears, and Golden Calves is a great insight into the Christian views of economics of today’s world and the way we view it.

This book narrates just how Christians should behave and view the problems of the past and the problems of today. Overall, I feel the book is very in-depth and concise on the way some issues should be observed. Stapleford does a great job including references and bible verses to support his positions.

Ever since forty plus years ago Agriculturalists have shown a variety of show cattle and ran ranches with them. I showed cattle for a few years throughout my FFA experience. Cattle have played a huge role in our society feeding families and other people who reside in this world. Their effect on human culture is something that we take much pride in when raising our cattle whether it is for companion or meat products. Previous cattle showman know and strive to achieve the ultimate goal: winning grand champion. This reward is earned by having the best show calf in the ring to the judge’s perspective.

In the US today cattle are part of everyday culture. With more than 93 million cattle in the dairy and beef industry, and tens of thousands in the rodeo business, cattle are definitely a huge part.

By purchasing a Charolais heifer it opens up many opportunities for multiple different shows I have not participated in before. One main show I have never gone to is the Texas Junior Charolais show and the Charolais National Show. If I get the opportunity to attend I hope to meet new breeders and talk to them about the Charolais breed and what I should breed my heifer to. I’m excited to get the opportunity to attend these new shows so I can meet new people and experience new events. Most of all I want to learn more about the breed to further my knowledge about the Charolais

The reason I chose to use my show cattle as the main part of my video is because they are really important to me and have probably had biggest impact on my life as a whole. For the last 10 years I have been showing cattle and it has been a huge part of my life ever since. Showing cattle has taught me more about life and responsibility then anything else in my life ever has. Throughout the years of showing my cattle I have made many friends and been lots of places. The reason I chose the pictures that I did for my show cattle part of the video is because they show the way that I have grown and learned more over the last few years about showing cattle in specific.

These pictures help me look back at the different shows I have been too with different calves helps me understand what I have improved on. Each calf that I have had, has been different in many ways, and each one has made me go out of my comfort zone in different ways and helped me learn new things such as, showing a different breed that I had no experience in, breaking calves to lead, new techniques for showing and prep, and figuring out new feed rations for my calves.
