He looks like a solid above average calf to me.  The mama looks exactly like my unlimited ease cows, he sure puts the look on em.  I'll be interested to see how he grows out.  In my experience those calves that look nice but not awesome can really blow you away as weanlings and yearlings

I like him. Looks like he grow to a good big one. Not a criticism as far as I am concerned. In the second pic he looks to toe out a bit at the front and a bit post legged but might be the pic.  I am sure if he is good enough for you to post pictures it is the picture.
(thumbsup) for me. Hope you have had some interest in the Ranch Managers job

Hey thanks AUSSIE for the interest but things changed and moved one out in the morning and the new one came that night ....The Hoodoo calf is fairly straight
behind ,but travels good andhe has more  muscle ,than the others that are not as straight ...So far the front I think is fine and picture are hard to make them always look like they are ,calves are hard to keep up with ,,you take a shot if it's half way  right ....Had a half brother last year that looked really good until the day we semen tested and he only had 28 scrotal and the next day he walked through the local weighup sale.  hE WASN'T quite a year old and he might have qualified later but seems like if you don't sell them in the sale then people decide something wrong with them...This bull business has a lot of competition and thats proably why some new bigger outfits are getting out ....

Pictures can fool you sometimes.  I prefer video but know that is not always available.  Still, looks like a keeper.  What are the frams scores on the George calves?  are they fairly moderate?

Those  pictures might be doing me more harm than good ,I got to thinking though ,I'm taking the wrong pictures ,I thought I  was taking good profile calf pictures.. For the fun of it go through some of the blogs ,the new way to take pictures is from the front or rear or over the top showing the muscle ...I'm a slow learner ....I just have two george calves and their proably 6 or so ...

Freddy you and I are from the old school I like profile pics to. Front end pics show nothing in my opinion although I know clubby ppl like "freaky front ends". Calves are very hard to get pics of I took twenty the other day to get 5. I may of been a bit hard on your calf but you can only comment on what you see and I would rather someone comment as they see it than sugar coat it. I am sure that is why you and I post for good and bad feedback.
