Troubadour Calves

[dimebag]

Just a couple of updated pictures of a couple of Troubadour's that i raised , the white calf is a steer for the county fair , the yellow calf is one that i kept for a bull and just turned him out with some Gert x Limy cows .

I know its probably been discussed on here, but are your cows larger framed or smaller, and what did he help improve (muscle, how deep bodied.....so on)?

My cattle are mid-sized , with plenty of muscle .. i started with limys 20 years ago and crossed them with chi-maine , maine and charolais bulls and kept the females . I used Troubadour because i thought he would add body depth and keep em sound , it worked for me . Also , all of my Troubadours came fairly small , 65-70 lbs .

Here is a pic of ours slicked for San Antonio.  He's the one I told you we were having a hard time getting finished.  He stopped growing around 1220lbs and looks better now.  Gonna run him class two Chi and see how it works out...
