A very late thank you for the birthday wishes. Much appreciated

I agree. A really posty bull could never carry his head that high as straight hocks and straight shoulders go hand in hand

Thanks for the birthday wishes.

There is no reason why he wouldn't breed. He'd just be more prone to injury or infection due to the likelihood of his sheath getting scratched of grass seeds getting in the prepitium. He is just higher risk.

The bull is masculine and that is more than half the battle won when it comes to Brahman cattle. Very sound. Very good hindquarter. Not great in the midsection and it affects his balance. Sheath is really not good. Here a y type sheath like that would be a disqualification.

Very good post. I've posted my reply before seeing yours. You've explained it very well and in good detail. There is hope yet for the next generation if stockmen.

The bull is out of balance and very long fronted. Add to that the light muscle and the dryness of the gaskins tells me his daughters will lean towards a very angular type. Combine that with the complete lack of spring of rib and the odds are very much against them being easy doers.

And hard keeping daughters...

Exactly! Well said

They should be OK. I'd much rather use that than most modern BA genetics

I think your primary herdsire and your backup bull should switch roles....

It's already a victory if one of them is alive...

Short answer is no. Stick with what you are doing, you are doing it right.

I agree with you placing, but not your reason. I don't see anything wrong with her eyes in the photo.

That's the way to do it. Always better to use pure bulls and planned crossbred cows.

What synch protocol did you use and what was your conception on AI? I've been contemplating something similar after the worst recorded drought. Did use cidrs on a few heifers that I didn't think was cycling yet in the drought and they all conceived on either the induced heat or the first...

Go back and read all my posts on this thread in context.

Which breed?

SHe's doing well. Good calf

They are trying too hard to make a hereford like an angus without understanding the qualities that made a hereford popular in the first place.
