[QUOTE="VCC, post: 771603, member: 6399"] 3-waycross, half the time those HW that make you puke are really the cleanup bull that produced a clubby calf, you just get more money for the Heatwave name. I enjoy the dialog as long as it stays a discussion and not a fight; this was a pleasant discussion as far as I was concerned. I do not like the slick shear deal, put that is a preference, plus the fact that are show is outside, calves do sun burn. We bring ours home for a couple of weeks before slaughter every year and I do not think they would do well burnt to a crisp. It is hard enough with the pigs I held for 2 weeks after the fair (Do not like putting the hogs on the plant trailer, way to much stress prior to slaughter for me) 24 x 24 pen that is 80% covered and we had sun burnt pigs. A good judge should pick the best one with or without hair, when it comes down to it 2 calves that are the same the one with hair will win. (Work truck, go to town truck, same truck one with leather and chrome one with mud and blood) the pretty on is the one you look at. You have the Char Cross that the little girl is showing right, or is that some one else? He looks good from the profile, I would like so see a little more neck extinction and a tick more length but that is being picky. He looks like he was fed right and should grade high, And in my opinion there should be a basic triangle for judging, the look, structure and final product. The one that combines all three the best should win, with or with out hair. The majors that have hair show and all the calves have hair, those calves look cool the same goes for when they all are slicked. When you get to county and it is all over the place that is where you get complaining. Our state fair is after county so if you intend on showing the same animal at both it would be difficult to go from a slick to a haired deal. If we all thought the same it sure would get boring.
