Troubadour Bull Calf

Opinions on this Troubadour bull calf ?

What is he on the dam side and what age?

I've never had calves come on as fast as my Troubador calves this year.  All of them have a very cool look to them and are growing into more muscle than I ever thought they would

Your calf looks pretty different from the ones I got - yours may be a little deeper bodied.  All of mine had very straight lines and almost strikingly long necks relative to anything else I've ever used.  Mine are all silver.

Get that calf on feed ASAP and see what happens.

For comparison purposes.  This is the only one I have a recent photo of.

This calf is a Sep 12 baby that is second calf out of a Bold Statement momma.  She's not milking real good.   Second calvers are always our biggest trouble due in part to the way we manage them.  I don't know if that was part of his problem or not starting out, but this calf looked like a rat (a sorry one at that) the first six weeks of his life.  This photo doesn't do him justice (from last Thursday right after getting clipped and he was pretty sick with diahrea), but he's gonna make a steer.  We got him on creep feed at the end of November (essentially a month before this picture last Thursday).  His grandam raised a Champion Angus steer for us in Houston in 05.

Yours looks like he might be a little deeper and thicker than this one at this stage?

Ours are more pretty than stout at this stage, but the muscle is coming.

I've got a heifer calf that could almost be a twin to that one.  Out of my son's first show heifer (a baldy Playmate grandaughter, this is her fourth calf).  I suspect we'll wind up showing her as a Chi or AOB next year.  Hadn't got her pictured yet.
