[QUOTE="fourstates, post: 581030, member: 5918"] This little guy was born May 16, so he is not quite 4 months old in these pics. He has great muscle and bone, but time will tell if he grows into all that leather. At weaning I will decide if he will stay as a comercial bull, or go as a steer. He walks and moves like a bull, has a great mother, who gave me a replacement heifer last year. It is hard as you start out, when you don't have several calves to compare. As you see more and more Beefmasters you will learn more and more. In my opinion, your calf is not masculine enough, and lacks thickness and a rump. You can feed him into thickness, but I don't think you can muscle him up. My calf will be critisized for sheath and leather. Neither calf should be a Beefmaster herdsire. Good luck.
