This is Bart, he is the first calf out of my grade Brahman heifer and a grade Angus bull. We're considering keeping him a bull for my son's mixed cow herd. He's totally unrelated. So, I know he can't be critiqued for a standard of perfection for a breed, but over all, what are his good points and issues that should be considered. What do you all look for in a 6 month bull calf that makes him stand out?
Bart is 6 months old now, his birth weight was about 70 pounds, maybe that much. He's grown very fast and at 6 months, he's around or over 50% of his mothers weight. He's gaining on her daily. The cows in my son's herd are all just average black and red cows, a couple white faced and some with a bit of Charolais.
Here is Bart now at 6 months
