I think I just named him... Thanks Knabe.. you're the best ;D (thumbsup)
what all you don't like about him? Not enough forerib?/ not enough depth? bone maybe slightly average? narrow assed? Big shouldered? Come one, you need to explain yourself, otherwise people just wonder what you're talking about..
maybe it's the fact that his legs are covered in mud up to the knees, and his hair is all matted down, and full of dirt.. maybe it's cuz he's not a hairball TH carrier, or a monster boned, big assed PHA positive Maine..
I guess, I'll ETA my thoughts on the bull--
I think he's ok, not a great one, not a bad one.. I think he needs more body depth, and overall thickness-- he had it before we turned him in with the cows- but overall I thought his entire set of half siblings also needed those traits. Ya, he's got scurs, but atleast they're not horns. They only developed about 3 months ago.
Our main goal, is just to create black calves to sell as feeders.. Don't really care what happens to them after that. We don't also want to invest in a live walking bull- and don't have time to AI.
His mother is a 9 year old coming cow, who weans our biggest calf every year, milks the hardest, and is the fattest through the offseason.
