How does everyone feel about the involvement of jocks/traders in the club calf business. I am looking for opinions from breeders, showers, parents, traders and spectators alike.
I personally feel they are good for the game. They increase the level of competition and they beat a lot of highway to find good calves and get them into good hands. A lot of breeders' top calves get sold to traders for good money, which is good if you're the breeder and you've got feed to buy and bills to pay. Not so good if you're a kid trying to get a calf bought. The traders however make sure the good calves get found and get to the big stage instead of just ending up at the county fair. How much involvement is too much for a trader??? Anyways I am curious as to what everyone opinions are.
