"The lure of big money--and recognition--is changing what could be considered one of the last all-American competitions: the stock show....Regulations prevent the use of many drugs in show animals, and professional management is out except in an advisory role. But some families across the nation are paying thousands to buy premium calves, then hiring handlers to help raise them. Sometimes they even pump the animals full of drugs and other substances to enhance their appearance." (FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM) This article addresses the issue of cheating and unethical behavior in livestock shows, noting how "no one should be surprised that a few kids down on the farm may be doing whatever it takes to gain an edge."
