My mom(Meghan Welty)&nbsp;and uncle(Russell Braun)&nbsp;did it many years ago, so they helped me with my project. I learned it takes a LOT of time and hard work to take care of and break a steer for show.&nbsp; My steer did misbehave a little out at the fair but I was very nervous too.&nbsp; My mom says this year will be better and we will be trying some new things when training my steers and says&nbsp;its all a learning process.<div class="blogger-post-footer">posted by Mike<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11906310-3260497184721734284?l=confoundedconfines.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Reaghan Cooknoreply@blogger.com0
