If the steer you are planning to purchase is a breed champion (i.e., is the champion of the Angus division of the show), then yes, you would be purchasing an Angus steer (a pedigree or registration paper would confirm this.) I am not sure what county Dover is in nor what the set up of that county fair is so I can't comment furthermore on that. Good luck.

  My longhorn (or beulingo) beef is pretty damn edible. It's better than anything I've ever bought at the store.

I'm not sure but I think it already been package... I would get about 150 pounds plus of meat both front / back cuts and lots of hamburger. Simply put it would run me $3.70 a pound..

  Keep it simple, if you can't afford it, don'y buy it. You never bought beef before?

  The price is not the problem.. is the cost a good buy?
  
  My grandpa would kill a cow every year ... When my wife and I was first married I bought a 1/4 (37 years ago) I was not impressed with the selection and Angus beef was not invented. I have a list of the beef cuts I will be getting and it look like a very good list of some nice cuts..

  Danielle Heintz, Auglaize County, had the Grand Champion Market Beef purchased by JD Equipment and S&S Volvo for $85,000.

  
  I think you got a heck of a deal.

  I'd have to agree with this. Most steers are NOT angus.

  We fed out male holsteins just off the bottle (in my younger years), very good corn fed quality and i sold at market plus processing. I was buying from milk farms at 1.00 a lb for calves.

  The Angus thing is a racket, just like the way oil companies tried to make you thing theirs was special. The grade(prime, choice, select, good) and the cut(round, chuck, rib, porterhouse, etc) are the important things. I prefer to get my favorite cuts, and not have to take some of everything!
