How much more would it have cost to get a level topline w/ that bull?

Have we found a new Cut the BS with that?? Did you buy his play book because that was right from the words of Jody! True statement but better be careful you will get shunned.

I'm a grown ass man, I can take it.  That topline is unacceptable. 

And I'll take that as a compliment- Jody has more cattle sense than 90% of the members on this board- You may not like his approach but his knowledge is undeniable.  Take the facts and ignore the rest.

I didn't say that I didn't agree and yes Jody has plenty of knowledge.  Personelly I agreed with most of what Jody had to say and he wasn't afraid to say it, but that is just the kind of comment that would ruffle a lot of feathers on here though.

Does it say anywhere how big he is and how much he weighs? He looks fairly large to me but that could just be the picture. He is a little above our price range as were most of the bulls at that sale by the looks of things. (pop)

I don't think there is to much wrong with these bulls. Maybe it is because it is summer over here and the bull is slick. Hair can make a good top line but does not add much to a carcase. JMO

to me, he has a hippo head, a brangus rear-end and an awfully tight heart girth for how much brisket he has.

must have every marker in the book.

Mr Stewart said Fletcher fulfilled a long search of both Canada and Australia for a bull with the kind of frame, muscle and depth he wanted.

if he calls that depth, i'd hate to see what shallow is.  there's depth in his brisket.

Well done to all at Ireland's Angus for a great sale. They have some very impressive brood cows. The negative signs here are a good sign that they must be going places!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like the video and website. The cows look nice. I kinda like that the bulls are slick. You can see exactly what your buying.
