[QUOTE="aussie_cowgirl, post: 654352, member: 1279"] Cowboy, our animals don't go in with their pedigrees on their necks, they go in with weight, fat measurement and age. They are beating HW's which is why his progeny don't win everything and this is where popularity does come in. If 70% of a ring line up is out of HW then the chances of one of his progeny winning is higher. Of course the judge knows. Can you guess a calf's parentage from looking at it at a show? Or do you know where a calf has came from by looking at the handler? Sure you can. Not always but you can. Same as within stud show animals you can guess lines by looking at animals. I used to be able to tell who's bull was who's in a number of breed because I knew the phenotype. And anyway, apparently judges go and talk to handlers in these club calf comps. Info can be easily found that way. [/QUOTE]
