Also, there is no way Cunia will sire competitive show steers in this day and age.

What is the best "clean" shorthorn bull for producing steers with the clubby look?

here is a clean option. His first calves here are moderate and thick and so far they have BWs of 80-95 lbs and all have been unassisted. He is HC Free Spirit 6Y and he is shown here after breeding for 2 months as a 3 year old. Also pictured is a daughter at 2.5 months of age. We have semen at Hawkeye, Adel, IA
We have sold the European rights and just sold semen to Australia today as well.

Here is a Shorthorn bull who actually has more than a calf picture!

You can argue that NO bull of ANY breed will compete in the club calf deal.......UNLESS they are carriers of some genetic defect. That is a fact. And that is why there is currently such a disconect between the beef industry and show cattle.

Would Uncle work on a Rumor Mill x Golden Child x Mossy Oak cow that needs a smoother shoulder and could be leveler from hooks to pins?  She has had a calf by HXC Conquest (red angus), Hi Ho Silver, and TR Mr Diablo et that have all been good calves.  Hi Hi is coolest but a the Diablo may end up being better.  Prefer steers.

Uncle is ds but so are a lot of them-hes also pretty small: but if the cows have any size he or EUC Tabasco -(3 way clean proud Jazzx Vegasx Habanero) are similar types. Fareer Stock Farms have a new batch of real clubby bulls-Hear Ne Now is triple clean-Oughta be triple dirty For solid colors -there are a bunch of Red Reward sons who go back to LTD Edition etc-They would DEFINITELY work on a Rumor Mill etc-but the calves may be black The bull below is one (Red Sensation)is on Cattle Visions along with a video as a calf at the end of this reply-hes pretty stout MB Steermaker is the most widely used Shorthorn ever other than Double Stuff or Double Vision and hes clean-and has the hip and pin structure you are looking for.along with the colorThere are several more on SEK too: with WILDSIDE being a very good Candidate-have a video of HIM STILL BREEDING COWS AT ALMOST 13 YEARS OF AGE-VERY IMPRESSIVE FOR HIS TYPE-hes ds thats it.PS all of these bulls are proven CE but Sensation-hes got CE on his sires side and CE EPDS for what thats worthO0    https://vimeo.com/203758138
