Welcome to STEERJOCK DEVELOPMENT SITE
This is not just a new version of Showcattle.com with a new layout. It will be a completely different game.
It is not even remotely close to being done. Nothing here will remain long term. It's being built. Feel free to mess around all you want.
Development Updates
As new features are added, they'll be added to this list here.
Minor Update

ViewStatus of Game Development
Sunday, January 15, 2023
I don't want to mislead folks on the status of this site.
Priority
To be very clear, developing this site is in no way whatsoever, a priority at this time. I'm not pushing it and not promoting it.
The last time Showcattle made as much in a year as Livesockjudging.com made in the first two weeks of this year was in 2019. It is where my focus is and it is where my focus will remain.
This game is currently a way for me to change gears from time to time and learn C# .NET Core development.
Current Status
It's not even close to being within reach of being ready to play. You pretty much can't do anything at all in the game.
Game Model
All I know is it won't be a feedlot game. There might now be payment for sending cattle to town at all.

You're going to see site ads for a while until I get it configured properly.
ViewSwitching to C# from VBScript
Wednesday, December 7, 2022
I started writing these sites with VBScript back in 2001, about the time that started going out of style.
Rather than being lazy and staying stuck to that programming language, I'm going to start over from scratch on this site and switch everything to C#.
All this really means it's another month or two added to development time.
