He is a March 1 out of a Total Play granddaughter. Weighs approx 600lbs.  Just wondering what some experts thought of him.  i know the first picture is not the best quality but it was a different veiw.

i like him.  he's clean up front down low and has muscle for a tyson.  all the tyson's i've seen were moderate and easily fattened and looked more conventional feedlotty rather than freaky show calf.  this calf has a little more of that.

for me, learn to lift his head without tilting it.

I like those Tyson's. You can count on him to sire a well designed structure with a good hind leg and some muscle shape.

Anybody think he looks just a bit staggy for his age and weight?  Maybe it is just the crest of his neck, but otherwise looks pretty good.

that's the word i was looking for earlier.  but he looks better in that area than most tyson's i've seen.

Thank you all for the comments.  I have been kicking around the idea of feeding him some beet pulp to try and give him some more flank. Just didn't want him to get a huge belly like you would want on a  heifer.  We have been having awesome hair growing weather the last two weeks which i hope will help hide the crest in his neck.  I am planning on entering him in Larry Martins Top 40 Sale in November if he likes him. Hope so, the calf needs to find a home where he can be shown i think he will make a great project for someone. Again thanks for your comments.
