The bull that wasn't in Denver

[ROMAX]

He definately looks and moves out alot better in the second video,i think i would delete that first vid LOL

The later video is better. Still wouldn't mind blowing him apart from underneath, and changing the way he strides off the outside of his rear left.

Well if you blow him apart underneath then he dang sure isnt going to hit his stride. The only thing that is keeping him from being crippled is he dont have any belly. JMO

I've seen this bull in person and he's a hoss, he really is pretty sound for how much mass he has, and he's always had a cool look.
I'm not even gonna comment on the shorthorns since this post was about Jagger

Hard for me to be too big on a bull that doesn't come close to covering his tracks.  Don't know whether or not thats a big deal in club calf type stuff.

Do Maine bulls usually have no guts?  Looks so tubular, but am not familiar with this breed.  I didn't watch the video because I don't know where it is.

ETA, never mind the video comment, I see the links now.

So only cattle that funnel to their base can fill their stride? Rubbing their back feet together on the move is a good thing? As far as the bull in question being so amazingly stout and powerful.....he just doesn't do it for me.

I do appreciate all the comments on our bull, both good and bad.  I know any time  you put and animal up on this forum, you are setting yourself up for criticism.  I have seen people ask over and over to see a top bull in their working close, and not all covered up in hair, and fat, and whatever else is done to these bull when they are presented.  Well I am doing just that, and presenting a real world bull for the world to see. The public can see the progression of him from being a calf until present, and there has been absolutely no funny business in his presentation.  Some may not the outcome, but this type of transparency is how we do business.

Thanks again for everyone that have viewed our bulls pics and videos, and also thank you to all for your honest feedback.

There are not very many breeders that will show you a high percentage, long yearling Maine in a video for good reasons. I commend ZNT for the transparency.

IMO the real sad truth of the matter is that there are getting to be more & more PPL that can't honestly tell a good one from a bad one & they think it helps them if they are all fit & fed up nice and pretty. I know, I shouldn't post this, but?
Very nice real world bull Zane.

All I'll say about the matter is that I bred some of my cows to him back in Dec.

There are very, very few high % exotic bulls that are as deep as little dinky doo British cattle when in proper breeding condition.  That's why so many people think they look bad at an AI stud.  A long bodied, heavily muscled bull never moves like a ballerina.  Whatever else he is or isnt, he's not remotely unsound.

This is the video of the full bother to ZNT's bull that is being discussed . I like him just as well even though he is not as pretty. You really have to like his depth, big foot and his leg/pastern/foot assembly. He may not be as powerfully muscled but I believe is functionally designed with a 78lb birth weight. There is no perfect bull and sometimes one needs to decide if the genetics and phenotype will play a significant role in the equation. IMO this is a unique and very good high percentage Maine bull along with his full brother. He reminds me of the popular Sooner bull with an ideal leg and foot design. Again, Zane has given you a true look at a bull on a warm day in Texas without all the dressing.
