[QUOTE="VCC, post: 686089, member: 6399"] I assumed he meant a calf for a county fair; this calf would not make a club calf. I also think you will see the clubby bulls becoming sounder as the judges are penalizing unsoundness again. The reason so many of the clubby bulls are unsound was breeding for single traits, the big @ss, the huge top, and these traits brought problems with them. The Clubby bulls are becoming more balanced and this should in turn help in producing better calves. You still want to pick a good sound calf to start with, why is this so hilarious? Just because the bull is not sound at 10 years does not mean his terminal calf will be unsound at 18 months, and club calf bulls where selected to produce terminal calves, the fact that people tried to turn terminal heifers into cows is a whole other story. I often wonder if these bulls would not have been better off out in a pasture chasing cows than they were standing in a stall with very little exercise, I know I feel better and have less aches and pains when I have been active.
