Thanks XBAR... we will try to run him as such.-XBAR- said:Could easily be a Gert/ Angus cross
-XBAR- said:The ear set and shape and his sheath make it difficult to argue his bos indicus influence. A hip shot would make it even easier to evaluate as the calf should have a more round smooth rump shape rather than square w/ high pins to pass IMO.

Not the best photos...

Too confusing... guess I paid high dollar for an AOB.
XBAR, not that I would ever do it, but, that bull would give some tremendous F1 crosses on my Shorthorn cows!-XBAR- said:Brangus and Gert should have the same pheno characteristics. Theres some Gerts now that show very little brahman influence

Yes, and here's what I think of Y'uns' """Experts""" at Beef Cattle Evaluations and Phenotype Classification. Anyone who doesn't allow a red, dark roan, or RWM steer or heifer in the ring, but, DOES allow Splotchy, Orangey "Roan" Steers with Brindle Stripes on their legs & a Roman-nosed, Ant-Eater-Headed "Breeding Heifer"............. obviously needs to be politely taken aside and "informed" what a Purebred Shorthorn looks like.twistedhshowstock said:From my experience, honestly, I would say no, there probably isnt a ton of gert in him. Looking at true gerts I just dont see it in most of these. He may have a little though. As far as classing him Gert, then absolutely all day everyday. I think almost every classifier would pass him in the gert ring. Here in texas they dont have to actually have a drop of what you run them as in them, as long as they can pass a set of physical traits.
