   They both look balanced and well muscled. The first one could be a tick deeper sided, but besides that hes well muscled with a big square hip and clean front. If you need more finish try increasing the fat content in his ration. He appears tall, but it could just be the pic, but try to increase fat and decrease protein. Adding rolled corn, rice bran, or corn/soybean oil will help. Watch his stool though.

   The little one looks nice too, I'd like to see him cleaner fronted.

   Whos the sire of these calves?

I'd like to see both of them have a little more deeper flank in them. That will come with more finish though. I like the 1st calf better but thats  just imho.

I thought the first one looked like a lifeline steer. His calves can get kinda tall sometimes. The first one seems to have better hair too.....good luck!
