Has anyone seen in person or used the herford bull True Grit?  Have been thinking about using him on pne of our heifers. Looking to add some lenght,depth, and thinkness. Just looking for opinions or past experience also curious about his calving ease. Below are two picturrs of the heifer.

I have a calf out of him and have seen a bunch of calves out of him as well as seen him several times.

He will add that cocky cool fronts and most of the time take most of the white out of them.
I wouldnt say he will add depth or muscle but he certainly wont take any away.  I would say he will make some nice uddered females. If I were to knock him I would say he may not have as much testicle development as some bulls his age I've seen. Not really a big deal to me. 

I know my true grit calf was about 65 pound out of a recruit daughter. Real cool.. easy doing type of a steer prospect. With the true grit x recruit cross it seems like he added some more muscle but I cant say he will do that with everything.

Overall I know I will certainly breed all my first calf heifers to him and some of my smaller framed cows.
