With some calf club bulls all hair and no substance is it time to introduce this sire.  ;)

Is this what judges have in mind when they mention power?

the simi bull at the top would be one i would use lol

The simi looks good, but I really like the Hereford bull about half way down the page.  Ton's of muscle, and according to the article, plenty of milk too.

I'll pass on the Blue's.  Is this the direction the showsteer industry is trying to get???  They love extremes!  You want extreme muscle, there you go.

When I attrended the Royal Highland show in Scotland, the Blues had the largest show. ( they are called Bristish Blues there and are called Belgium Blues here). I must say that many of the commercial herds of half blood British Blue cows were quite impressive. Here are some pics i took there. The female was the Grand Champion at the Royal Highland. The white bull was Gran Champion Bull. He was simply disgusting!!!

The herd of cows pictured was very impressive and they were half blood Blue and they had very big calves on them. The blue colored cow was very impressive and probably would make a great clubby mom. She was tremendously deep and had lots of volume, with a great udder, and was as smooth as an apple.

there obviously is a market for these cattle, just as there is for heatwave calves, except these cattle are for perhaps a larger commercial market where they are sold for meat not hair and lethal defects.  c-sections seem common over there as many "good" cattle have zippers on them.  perhaps we should have larger heatwave calves and more c-sections, not less and every bull should be a double carrier.  perhaps quadruple carriers raised in a test tube so you could guarantee every calf had at least one copy of th and pha would be the best thing to do and that each one would be sterile by default so nothing could make it to the commercial or purebred market.

Check that, I think its a wonderful idea to increase incidents of c-sections and to have test tube sterile cattle!!!!
