I been ask to go in with three other to buy a 1/4 of the prize winning Black Angus.

What is the going price for something like this?

Most people that buy meat from the fairs do it for the advertisement, not because it's a good price on meat.

Belly, your best bet is to look at previous prices for champion animals in that county (I am presuming) to therefore determine what your likely going to pay live-price. Most of your champions are purchased to support the exhibitor, not because they're going to "taste good."

Also, just because a steer is black doesn't mean it is Angus. You'll more than likely be buying a steer with a high Maine/Chi-influence, neither of which are known for marbling.

Early Cuyler;1049817 wrote:No problem. 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.
