[QUOTE="VCC, post: 687797, member: 6399"] Why would someone want to buy a calf to show that had structural problems, most terminal operations castrate everything, they are not culls they are terminal. The ranch we buys are calves from send all the culls to the sale yard prior to selling the main group. Why? It is their name going above that calf at the shows, you do not want people to think that you raise crap, sell your best cull the rest. It is a lot like selling bulls when it comes to selling show steers. The structure problems you run into especially with club calves is too straight in the front or on the pasterns, toed out to the point the feet are heading east and west, these are structure problems that should be culled out, big shoulders week top lines and cow hocked aren’t going to prevent the calf from finishing out but they are not attractive in the show ring. I know it is hard to believe but when some one spends $20,000 on a steer I don’t think it is going to be a cull. (I know, don’t ask me why someone would spend that much on a steer) To see more ridiculous steer prices try this site. [url]http://www.lautnerfarms.com/highsellers.html[/url] I am sure that these were not culls, they can make easier money selling them as steers than they can if they where bulls. [/QUOTE]
