Thanks we weren't sure if they would or not. We aren't sure if we are going to keep him as a bull or cut him and go to shows. What do you guys think we should do?

Nice calf. What do you mean by bull legged? Being a compilation of various breeds, I'd already have a band on him.

He looks awesome, but he also looks HUGE! What did he weigh when he was born? Maybe Im just used to the 65-75 pounders Ive been getting??

Sorry I meant bow legged,but now that he is up and moving around it has kind of went away. I am not sure about his wieght but i wasnt able to pick him up, I will put his weight on later.

He weighed about 90 pounds, and the cow had him unassisted.

He is solid! I was looking earlier from my phone. Now Im seeing him on the screen. I wish I could get that kind of thickness out of my purebred calve. Great calf!

Next year do you think I should breed the cow back to Rock N Roll train and switch it up. When we picked Rock N Roll we kind of randomally picked him not really knowing what we were going to get.

Just remember, a calf more than likely wont look the same at a month old and 3 months old as it does at a week old. My best calf last year looked like crap up until it was a month old then past everything and bar none the biggest boned and thickest calf I had grew out nice but wasnt the thickest when she grew up. Your calf might be awesome at 3 months old around breeding time then again it might have went the complete opposite way. Nothing gets you more excited then when a stocky live healthy calf hits the ground. and sometimes nothing cost you more money than jumping the gun on things. I would wait awhile before i answered these questions.
