Ok so if you would have read my post, rather than just skimming it looking for something to argue and be a jerk about, which by the way I think a lot of you do on here, but if you would have truly read my post you would have noticed that I said that the steer was a really nice steer and if i had to knock a hole in him that is where I would change him, I never said he wasnt adequate in his depth of side, but I do think he could stand to be a little deeper, but I also pointed out that this is a very young, green steer and this would most likely get there with age and time on feed. As far as the pics above my original post, in one I think he looks kinda shallow, but I think its a shadow, and in the other there is a gate in the way which prevents you from telling much on him, so I actually made most of my observations from the first pics. But I never said he wasnt adequate, just that in my opinion he could stand to have a little more.
As for his head, I would agree he is very cool fronted in those first pics, really like him through the shoulder and neck, but for some reason I am just not crazy about his head and even less so in the second pics, would I ever knock him for that in the show ring, absolutely not, I was simply stating what I would change on the steer if I could.
And for his top line, where do you think good, strong, level top lines come from? They come from good, strong loin muscles. And they have to be even stronger loined to keep as good of a top line as this steer has when they are as long sided as this steer appears to be. So as I stated there I would think he would have some shape to the topline and loin because those 2 things generally go hand in hand, but I may be totally wrong in it, we may get a but view and this steer have absolutely nothing there, but if we did I would be really surprised.
But Aanyway I never said the steer was inadaquate anywjere, I simply stated the small things I would change to make him even better in my opinion, I dont think we have ever produced the perfect calf, and when we do its time to get out of the show business, because then there is no poin in it!
And after all, this is all "JMO" as you so often say fed_champions, so others may have totally different opinions and I respect that, but you always seem so upset when someone elses opinion differes from yours!
