These are all bred & owned calves. 
First pic is a June Heifer calf --- top side is an in Focus out of a Forever Lady, bottom side is a Burgess our of a Providence.
Second Pic is a January Bull/Steer--- He is a Dameron C-5 American Classic x Iron Mtn Cow
Third Pic is a January Bull/Steer--- He is a Dameron C-5 American Classic x Bear Mtn Pride 4157 Daughter

Probably going to cut both Bulls and make into steers, but would like some opinions on them...

The heifer is pretty young but looks to have some good pieces.

The bulls both look pretty good to me.  Is there a reason you are castrating them?  What are they weighing?

Bulls are weighing 700...thinking about castrating them because their calving ease numbers are horrible & i have a small herd in my area without the big name so makes it tuff to sell a bull...

Ya if they are only weighing 700lb and have bad calving ease numbers/BW, you are probably right to castrate them.  They'd be a hard sell no doubt.  Good looking calves though.

thank you cowboy_nyk!!!  I think the CM Cult Classic calf will make a pretty nice Angus Show steer / this will be the first bred & owned one in 4 years that we have had.. so kind of super excited for that aspect.

The other one would make a good Bull, but with CED only +1,,, gets tough to sell them... his actual BW was only 70lbs, but that CED EPD is what everyone looks at.
