[QUOTE="VCC, post: 839240, member: 6399"] Our "Club claves" had a 2.7 to 3.5 ADG, finished choice or better (we had 3 go prime), we selected them to ultimately show as fats, so we did give up a little in the jackpots. (We did not pick the puds that looked finshed at 800 pounds) We do not have a carcass competition in our area so all we can go off is the buyers feed back, they have never been disappointed in the product and purchased the boys steers for 9 years in a row. When the butcher calls to tell you how good the carcass looks, it came back from the plant stamped "USDA Prime" you have to figure it is OK. We selected calves that were balanced with growth potential, finished at or near the top every year and delivered a quality product with Club Calf genetics. Bonus was they had the look as well as the product to back it up. Would I buy one to feed out for myself, not unless I got if for market price. Would I buy a commercial steer for showing, not unless it looked like a club calf. [/QUOTE]
