show cattle

Competition-bred cows

Show cattle are livestock bred and raised specifically for exhibition at agricultural fairs, livestock shows, and competitions.

Unlike cattle raised primarily for meat or milk production, show cattle are selected and groomed for ideal physical conformation, muscle definition, and breed characteristics.

Preparing show cattle involves careful feeding, training to lead calmly, and extensive grooming: She spent months getting her Angus heifer ready for the county fair.
