thanks guys, He is gaining 6 pounds a day at this point, he only was 600 pounds at the belt buckle bonanza (its scary considering he lives in that lot under trees, we have no barn because we moved) but thankfully we can trace his genetics to a T, he is out of our f1 sim/angus bull and his mama was a braunvieh/brahman, this one is a 3/4 brothers to our champion americans at county the last 2 years and hes still on full feed as we hope he will do like the rest of cattle in that group do and just stop gaining around 1270 and get finished. His genetics have been in the family a long time and we are pretty confident that is the way things will turn out (if not you guys will be the first to know),
his feet are a touch long, but what your seeing with them so being up under him is no illusion, he is one that will know the term zilmax on a first name basis (calf makes 2 seperate tracks when he walks) and we think they wont be so bad after he gets on the hoof trimming rotation and starts the supplements,
thanks for the responses so far, keep em coming guys <beer>
