Another thoughts on this bull thread

3yo Red angus, I want to go have a look but he's a solid hour away. PB, sire registered dam not.
Looks solid to me, maybe a little thin in the hip section?
I'm torn between him and a beautiful registered simangus I looked at a few days ago, the Red is half the price.

fuel prices too high, too even waste on that one..he's pretty bad..

not me.

I wouldn't be interested in that one

Mostly cause of the lack of butt on him?

I'm not sure it's the same bull in every picture. One has an ear tag and the others don't, or can't be seen. Bad camera angle on #1, too light in the rear on #2 and a missing tail, and another bad camera angle on #3 and the bull has a tail.
And all of the bulls have rear legs that look like posts. I doubt they will last long.
Overall a hard pass for me.

That's one thing pencil gutted ,straight legs..but you can bet he'd pass a BSE with flying colors..

Possibly the difference between the two bulls you are looking at is the condition they are presented in. Being a 3 yr old does he have any calves for you to look at?

He's thin, but that's not a good enough excuse for me. He's lacking from the point of his shoulders back to his tail.

I was told has been in service two seasons but all calves have shipped I believe.
I'm going to pass on him, due to the areas he's lacking y'all pointed out. and considering the time of year I'm sure he hasn't been working lately I'm half afraid he'd melt too much over the breeding season.

There's not much to melt.
