[QUOTE="VCC, post: 709838, member: 6399"] Now I know you big time steerjocks have been to enough sales to have noticed that there are calves priced from the hundreds to the tens of thousands, not everyone can afford the high dollar ones, in fact most people can’t. What you try to do is find one that fits your budget and you think will compete. This calf might have been the best calf for the money that he found, fix the front end on the calf price goes up a grand or more, square of the hip calf goes up even more, now add a little extinction to the neck. Calf is bought buy a trader and sold down the road for way more than BC could pay. At most sales it is the mid range calves that are hard to sift from, you have lighter muscled plainer calves but their as sound as a cat, then you have the clubbier looking calves that really catch your eye at first but at closer look you will find problems and they will almost always be structure. BC made his choice based of his idea of what it will take in his area to compete, I hope that the calf doesn’t breakdown as it matures and he is competitive. Now you have to admit we have had a lot worse posted here, but yes this calf is by no means perfect, but the only thing that I would worry about is his frontend as he matures, if he holds together he should beat the plainer made calves.
