This is a yearling bull out of Expectation 4915. Let me know what you think. The date of the picture is correct but the year is wrong just thought I would add that.
 
cowperson-

I am somewhat perplexed with this yearling bull! :? I extrapolated as much additional information as I could from the facts given, and am assuming that he is sired by G A R Expectation 4915 - perhaps he is Expectation 4915 1012? :?: If, in fact, this is true - I am in a quandry as to why he appears to be a Frame Score of about 4.0 - 4.5! This is just my estimate of his Frame Score. For his being a son of N Bar Emulation EXT and out of a dam by G A R Precision 1680 he seems to be considerably shorter than anticipated from his pedigree, - fine-boned, cut up in the rear flank, lacks muscling in the hindquarters (which is NOT surprising, being GAR-bred), cow-hocked from this view, pinched heart girth, flat forward rib development, - - taken all in all, not a bull I would expect to see with the pedigree given!

Excuse me if I am wrong in my assumptions, but are you sure that your pedigree facts are accurate?

Thanks, Doc Harris for your comments. The bull is A.I. sired by Expectation 4915 reg#12548568 and his dam is a commerical angus cow.

It's a little hard for me to tell for sure from just the photo. He's a yearling. Is that like 12 months or 15 or what? What does he weigh? birth weight? How many cows to breed. I think with what I can see you'd be ok using him.

He is 13 months old. I do not have weights on him. Was going to use him on 5 to 10 cows. His dam is 14 this year. She has been a good cow. Easy calving and calves weaned off at 7 to 8 months weighing between 500 and 600 lbs. Had another bull calf this year but she is not giving enough milk going to take both to the sale barn. Thanks to everyone for your comments.
 
cowperson, I don't think you will go wrong with him. The price of registered bulls, the hassel with AI. Depending on you cows, your going to wean off some pretty good calves.

I would use a knife to castrate him, be sure and get both nuts; that way there would be no danger of him settling any hfrs or cows. After he is healed real good, then either feed him out yourselves to butcher or bring him to the sale barn.
 
if his near leg was back like in most pics, he would show a little more rear quarter. i dont think he looks that bad; more of a bad picture.
 
This is the biggest problem with ALL cattle pictures posted on here. For the most part, we aren't photographers and cattle aren't real good at smiling for the camera!
Different photo angle and everyone's opinion might change.

I agree, we need some more pictures from different angles. Plus what has been his feed regimen? A good feed can change a lot in the way a bull looks many times. One more thing I might add as I have experienced this in the last few weeks, all computer screens are not of the same clarity. And lastly, not making any excuses for black cattle but IMO black cattle won't show the muscular definition of other cattle because a black shadow is being cast on a black hide, kinda hard to see black on black.
