Muscle mass, body mass (rib and depth) and thickness. Which would work the best?

Monopoly
Point Taken
Unstoppable
Pericles
Moto Moto

Which would throw best structure? This is my list of bulls to look at for next year

Here is one bull calf and one heifer calf sired by Moto Moto.

Both Pericles and Moto Moto sire calves that are long strided and fluid in their movement.

You will want to keep every female out of these two.

I would say of the bulls you have listed as far as straight mass is concerned based on what I've seen as calves Pericles or Moto Moto. May not be the most pretty things in my opinion. But like hab said they will make great cows who you can then go back on with the monopolys, and clubby stuff of the world for great show cattle

Half the reason that they don't look pretty is because they are not fitted, clipped, dyed, and painted. My calves would be and that would help a good deal. Most of my heifers are pretty anyway. Nice bulls Harley

I wasn't referring to all that. I've worked on clipped got galloways ready and clipped them like you would any other calf and aesthetically they are not as eye appealing there is nothing wrong with this, you completely misunderstood me.

When that galloway steak is on the plate and you bite into it and you barely half to bite to enjoy it, that is really beautiful.
