[QUOTE="VCC, post: 839301, member: 6399"] How can some one who goes by the handle 3-waycross (which most club calves are) say he only prefers breed shows? ;-) The club calves are bred to give you everything that looks good, it is a visual thing. Big hipped huge topped, elephant a$$ed, goose necked and hairy. They are impressive to look at, but to get these things in one package you give up allot. Big hipped = hipped locked calves Goose necked = harder doing cattle Hairy = no heat tolerance Elephant a$$ed = titer pelvic area (see Heatwave daughters) Huge topped = 1.5 inch steak that 3 people can eat. It is really no different than any breed that starts chasing one characteristic or EPD number other areas suffer. For an example: higher weaning waits = Frames score 7 cows. I guess the only thing Club Calves haven given the beef industry is something they can all complain about no matter what breed they raise. I would have no problem feeding out a club calf to eat I just wont pay more than market for it. I do not begrudge the Club Calf guys getting what they get for the calves, as long as people will pay it, why not sell it for that. [/QUOTE]
