Hard to tell at that age , he's got a lot of growing to do yet. Looks like he will throw some grow and power in his calves. He does have a bit much front end for me but to each his own.
I agree with the length comments , good looking pair. Based on the pictures I'd have to say neither one is real great in the depth of body department though.
I've never used Sturdy but I've sure though about it plenty. I would sure think from a female standpoint he'd make some fancy , fertile , perfect udder cows. I'm also guessing depth and softness of body is his downfall. I'd love to see some calves out of him if anyone has any pics ?
