Project calf

[RenFarms]

Due to recent knee surgery, we are downsizing our Denver entries. We had planned on taking this steer in hopes of finding a home for him. I really do think he will make a nice project calf for some one.  If you know of someone who might be interested, feel free to point them my way  
I sure appreciate it.

What's his pedigree and birth date?

 

[RenFarms]

Gargan, he is a purebred Galloway, non-registerable.  Sorry, no fancy club calf names floating around his family tree. He does have impressive bone, and hair, and actually is put together right structurally. Very gentle fellow too. DOB 3/31/13. Thanks.

Hes real cool for a purebred anything. If u get a purebred hfr that looks like him, give me a shout <beer>

What do you think he weighs? Looks good phenotipically and still seems to have performance, Nice calf.

 

[RenFarms]

Thanks Gargan.  Barry Farms, he weighs around 575. He is not on a real hot diet by any means, but has been gaining around 2 lbs on mostly soy hull based ration plus hay. Around 8 to 9 lbs feed, free choice hay.  Weaned about 6 weeks ago. Thank you.

Just an update, we weighed these calves today, and this steer is 606, shrunk weight. He has been gaining 2.5# per day on soy hull based ration (8-9 lbs/day) plus free choice brome hay.
