[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1689506, member: 6291"] You brought up the good point about the musle of the black one. Look for that muscle, no paint, and cleaner lines. There is no reason to settle. Look for a bull that has all those qualities. I'll throw a little some thing one the side. In Beefmasters I prefer solid colors like a solid red all the way to a dun color. Some will almost get white. I dont worship at the altar of the black hide but dont want to cut myself short with paint up the sides and what not if I can prevent it. The deep reds, duns, etc will help when crossing back later on for terminal calves. On the temperament any of these breeds being talked about can be hot headed. You will have to make that a priority on the bull you buy that he is good tempered. My family has ran Beefmasters for years. Some are really easy going... some are not. We were sorting through some heifers a couple months ago to hold replacements and sifting out any thing that was high headed. When I went to load out the culls one decided she had had enough and was flat out after me. She got in my hip pocket several times. I was sore the next day from trying to run so hard. I ended up getting her to chase me to a smaller pen where we could put some other calves with her and force her on the trailer. [/QUOTE]
