Plus calves seem to be gaining popularity in our area. Recent expo they sold on average higher than purebred stock. That's a nice calf. Up headed and eye catching .

Great muscle, if I were to change him maybe put some more flex in his hock but overall a super good calf.

sired by thriller/// Look very similar in type-the Shorthorn x didnt show alot of butt from the rear picture-Ill stick my neck out and say from what I see-the Thriller will be very similar U TELL ME O0
he has quite a bit more butt then the calf last year. The shorthorn bull I used for her first calf is the culprit on that! All of his calves are a bit narrow assets. But all of he is very easy calving so he suited her for her first calf.
