They look good! I like the looks of Cartwright. Are you selecting for horned or is it that the bulls just overall fit your program. I know I have used several horned bulls when I lkied them.
PRC Rosewood is a good one, should cross well that bull. (thumbsup)
I might prefer a polled bull but horned or polled doesn't hold much weight in my selection. I've nvr considered dehorning as big a hastle as some. Rosewood is with the SBR Tsunami son now.
The cartwright bull was stunted a bit as a yearling- he had a pretty bad sheath infection assumed to be from a rattlesnake and then the drought in s. Tx didn't help him any. I feel he will really take off in the next few months once he has a typical spring/summer of grass.

musta missed this one when it came out... Real neat made, will be cool to see him mature... would be cooler to see them in a high maintance, easy living life style in teh cornbelt where grass is lush.
Thanks, Jody I'm liking the bull more everyday. He could be a tick longer but moves like a cat. He can cover some ground on the move for sure. I will take some pics in another 6 weeks or so- there'll be crimson clover and elbon rye a foot and a half tall where they're grazing. I pulled em off the pasture in the bottom pics and let it all go to head last summer so I'm expecting a nice stand this year.
