Opinions on calf

[thornapplegrovefarms]

This bull calf is a Boardwalk out of a Who-Made-Who granddaughter. This calf was born on March 29th 2012. Please post your opinions so I can get some feedback on him.

Pros : Colorful, Stout, big boned. He's got shag.
Cons : Might be a little bit round in his hip and he's straight on his back legs.

Looks like a good steer though.

I like him.  Does he have enough muscle and whats the moms sire?  His back legs look straight but it might be photo.  Does he track well?

I think it's just the photo. He's got good muscle and he walks good. His moms sire is a occ black joker son.

Is the joker offspring a bit wild?  Have you had any other boardwalk calves?

Like him right now. Lots of bone, looks like he has a giant foot. Would love to see him belly down a bit with age. Looks steer straight to me, but they all seem to anymore.... (thumbsup) With that kind of bone, if he doesn't belly down and doesn't have that cute fuzzy steer look and is not too straight for your taste (you know cow and will see him everyday), leave him intact to use on a group of Angus cows... (angel)

Thank and I have a boardwalk heifer.

So other than being straight legged do you guys like him

That would  be a yes and you know if calf can fill his tracks. You have to be on the border line of being too straight to have a show ring look... (thumbsup)
