30 minutes east of Dallas...I was attempting to get opinions on the quality of this bull calf along with the reason why. So far I have learned that his back is not straight and he lacks muscle for his age so cut him and make him a steer. I appreciate the opinions I have received on the quality...

His sperm check was as follows: the vet checked him and said he is not "good" he is "excellent"! So that part is covered and confident in being great.

Thank you for your input..I will try and get a couple of better picture angles today. We were thinking this bull calf resembled his site in a lot of ways so we picked him to keep. We have only been raising cattle for 3-4 years so we are inexperienced for sure.

These are Pics of our registered Angus Bull about 7 years old, Bull calf we are keeping as replacement 15 months old, and the Damn about 5 year old X cow solid black with black bag. Just had visit to the Vet and the bull calf tested very very good although the vet stated he seemed a little small...
