After the shows some places make the kids sell their animals unless they are breeding stock. Rules very from state to state and show to show. If they are being auctioned off it is usually a local business that will buy them and they always run the price up. It's advertisement for them. The money then goes back to the kids to reinvest in another show animal or goes into a college fund or whatever they decide to do with it. These $30k animals are not a part of the public food chain supply and demand. Just rich people throwing money around for what most would call a good cause.
And the other side of it is that there are proven cows that will sell for that much and more if they have the desired traits people are looking for to breed for future show animals. No different than performance horses or race horses or whatever.
You're not wrong. It's a dirty group with a lot of backstabbing and cheating. Which is unfortunate because most of the time the kids just want to show their animals and have fun but the parents can take it way too far. The local fairgrounds had to install cameras in the hog barn because parents were going in there in the middle of the night to juice the hogs before the show.
Every dem retard will vote Trump. The rest of us will scatter votes among others. Then no moar Trump. There would have to be a system in place to prevent such a thing.
We should call it a democratic republic
See the irony??
No... No... Correct

You said they donated to Trump. That is an incorrect statement. The rest of it you can take however you want. If you want to dig further then go for it, if not I don't really care. Trump has nothing to do with MAGA Inc. He is however associated with the "Save America leadership PAC"
Carry on Anon
It's also not "donating to Trump"
Their donation to a Republican PAC buys "influence" and sways (FDA) regulations. Again, I thought we all knew how donations to PACs worked. It took me less than 10 minutes to find and follow the money trail with supporting docs.
No they didn't.
They (the company) donated 1 million on March 26 2025 to MAGA Inc., a Trump-aligned PAC. https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg/?202507319789366251
We all know how PACs and govmnt works. Or at least I hope we do.
All that to say the company is a Republican supporter, not Trump specifically, and whatever the backroom deals may have been I support eliminating nearly all of the three letter agencies anyway.
It's a pretty cool book about some dude that shows up and preaches a bunch of stuff then he's like nailed up to this wooden thing and dies. Then a few days later he comes back and teaches some other dudes some stuff then goes away but leaves a part of himself with everybody and no matter what happens or how ugly it all gets, in the end he WILL be victorious over the evil and stuff. It's pretty cool. You should check it out.
Yes, I type tongue in cheek
Ron DeSantis renamed it after the passing of HB 919 giving the state authority to name major commercial service airport.

The renaming was not a decision of the airport itself.
There are all kinds of different classes based on age, weight, breed, and sex but unfortunately there aren't classes (that I'm aware of) for heritage type stock. I'm with you that there should be though.
It's a dirty world that you probably don't want to be a part of anyway. There are better things to do with animals than throw thousands of dollars around just to be shit on.
