Calves had to be really fat to get pulled. For example, we had a pretty good yellow Troubador x Yellowjacket calf in Class 2 AOBs that Greiner took a hard look at on the way in and on his initial walk by. We didn't have him fat enough for most judges (real surprise with that breeding huh), let alone Greiner. You could practically see Greiner turn his nose up at him when he put his hands on him.
I thought Greiner did a fine job. Most of the calves that everyone knew about ahead of time got pulled. No real big surprises. He stayed true to form in that he'd pick power over pretty if everything else was equal. The champion was really, really good as you'd expect. He wasn't afraid to use a middle weight or even a light weight in a few cases for Breed/Res Breed Champs. As long as they were fat.
As Jeff alluded to in his article on Cattle.com, he was old school when it came to judging technique. He pulled nothing on the walk in, made a pass by all of them on butt view before he handled any, and then felt of every calf. It was quite a contrast from Fort Worth, although I did hear one dad very loudly cussing a blue streak on the fence when Greiner didn't look at his calf long enough on the way out the gate in an AOB class. I couldn't help but chuckle.
