[QUOTE="VCC, post: 646665, member: 6399"] Your top Club Calf bulls are usually Bulls that produce a calf that at 500 pounds looks mature, has a big square hip, smooth shoulder, a huge top, freaky necked, and small headed. The draw back to most these bulls are their birth weights, most of your top Club Calf bulls are three way crosses, bred to a main-angus or Simi-angus cow, the birth weight can range from 65 pounds to 150 pounds out of the same bull cow cross. When breeding club calves you are sometimes trying to get a square peg through a round hole. The other area of concern is the fact that a high percentage of your top bulls are either TH or PHA carriers, or carry both defects. So a breeder really needs to know the status of his cows when it comes time to breed Go to Showsteers.com and look at the upcoming sales page and you will see some stout little calves, These calves are bred for looks, not growth weight, ease of calving, or anything thing else that a commercial cattle man would be looking for. You could compare it to dogs and horses, show dogs and show horses are usually allot different that working dogs and working horses, some can play on both sides others would not stand a chance. Bottom line is when you get the right combo and everything works out, these calves are really pretty, and that’s what it is all about. [/QUOTE]
